I would like to explain that I try to cope as best I can but the loneliness is especially prevalent on holy days of Islamic Celebrations.
My Mother is also by herself and on many days I can accept loneliness , but on days like this when I hear Muslims are with their families , the feeling of being isolated and loneliness feels even worse .
We have to accept our fate that is what is written in our religion but being alone on days like this just made me feel sad .

Hi Roukaya, Yes it can make you feel a bit down when you can't join in any celebration. I had to learn to cope with Christmas on my own in the same way, so understand how you must be feeling. For me the trick was to remind myself that this was only a couple of days in life. I always made sure I had some treats for myself and would find something absorbing to do, like a new book or an imaginary journey taken online. If you dwell on the fact that you are alone, you'll feel worse. Just treat this as an ordinary day and don't set yourself aside as an outcast because you don't have anyone to spend the day with. Take care and remember tomorrow is another day. 🙏
I have had a few Christmasses alone as well and one year I was grieving and everything felt a lot worse just because of the fact that it was Christmas than it needed to have been.
Thanks for understanding
I hope things are better for you now.
I have been alone and unable to celebrate Christmas for eleven years. I haven't found a way to resolve it yet. It's not the being alone part so much, it's that I have to ignore the fact that it is Christmas day in order to avoid becoming very distressed. 🌸
Hi there. I just want to say Eid Mubarak. All the best. 🌸
Are you on Facebook. I found it good to see what was happening and making a comment is a good way of taking part. Thinking of you . Looking for somrthing to do, have a look at my website. It doesn't try to sell you anything but ther is a short story and poems to read.
Thanks for reply
I think we all get times when we feel left out and it always seems worse doesn't it when you are lonely just for the simple fact that it's eid when you feel everyone else is enjoying themselves and you're the only one who isn't.
Thanks for your understanding
Hi Roukaya, I think a few will be feeling like you with the current celebrations regarding Eid, as some sudden restrictions have been placed on localised areas, which will have probably stopped many from enjoying this celebration as they would normally. I think to make your own celebration is very important, so, treat yourself, make some good food and focus on the good you do for others. 😊🌸🌼
I think in a day like this , I find the loneliness harder to cope than other days
At the same I give gratitude what I have and by understanding the plight of others who are facing detrimental circumstances like Yemen , Rohingya and Syria .
As I almost lost everything at one time , I truly understand the plight of others and learning to give altruistically makes me realise may be I am alone but in my own way I can try to lessen the burden of others .
Thanks for reminding me of the charity work that I do which is just as important as passing these exams and finding employment.
As you are obviously religious try to look at things as small challenges , part of what you have to do in life ,this may help or not just thought I would add my views Eid Mubarak if that is the correct thing to say xx . remember you can be very lonely with people all around you
