Forgotten and alone.

[Paul_Nelson]

It's Thanksgiving Day for most of the U.S. I'm alone at home. Wife passed 4 years ago and I've been tumbling down this rabbit hole since. Many relatives, a few aunts and uncles, plenty of cousins. No one has contacted me in years, I reach out to no one. It is my life. This is how I live. Everyday. It is 10:30 a.m. Time to start drinking. Probably shouldn't due to my conditions but really, who cares?

I care. Someone else in this world cares too. I work overseas and my wife and children are currently at home not celebrating Thanksgiving because I’m not there. It can be rough, but there’s a reason you’re still here. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your wife. Don’t give up, man.

74Shovel, it's not always about the loss of our partners but the separation of loved ones

during this time of year. May you stay strong as I know you miss them. xx

Hi there, sorry to hear that, we care about you, it so sad that your relatives haven’t kept in touch with you after your wife died , maybe you’d be surprised if you did reach out to them.

I Care Paul_Nelson. My deepest sympathy on the passing of your wife.

It's sad how at a funeral people extend their sympathy and may say if there

is anything we can do, call us. But then we are forgotten in the months and

years ahead. I'm sorry this has happened to you. You should be a part of your

family's life. Know that we are here to support all those alone and sad during

the holidays. xx
