feeling lonely

[Valentina98]

Hey Everyone

Why is it that when you are ill everybody stays away from you.

I recently had a Heart Attack and I've a few other health issues with my heart.

The first few days I got loads of messages and phone calls but now nothing, I get that they want me to rest and get better but I miss my friends,

I'm sorry Valentina that you feel so alone. I wish you well.

I love your beautiful name x

You are very right in that people do tend to bring good wishes when we are sick

but then it just dwindles. I've often thought about those who are grieving, in that

people pay their repects and then it's gone. We need to realized that the suffering

can go on for a long time and that is especially when we need support as well. xx

Thank you,

I actually went years hating my name. I like it now and no I wasn't born on the 14th February

I was having a conversation with my mum about grief only today, you get the best wishes then after the funeral the person you lost doesn't get mentioned, like you're expected to move on

It was only a week or so ago I had my heart attack yet I've had a couple of days of no messages

I know a lot of people just don't know what to say or do during illness, grieving

and even those diagnosed with a terminal illness. I'm glad that you opened up

about your feelings on this site. It can help us all learn from your experiences.

I wish you well dear. Sending you healing vibes for emotional and physical health. xx
