There can be people who know you, and then there are people who KNOW you, if you get what I mean.  The only person who REALLY knew me -- my best friend -- died a few months ago and I miss her terribly.
So, we have to try to fill our lives with other things. Perhaps join clubs, or volunteer, or develop some hobbies. |
I'm so sorry about your friend. I can't imagine what
that would be like, though I did lose my father and other family members.
I do have a few close friends, I'm married and my mother lives many miles away. My friend knows more about me than my wife does. And still...I feel terribly alone. I wish I could make sense of it. I often reflect on the past...people who I hurt...people and places I've been. And I know I should feel joy for things I've been fortunate to have experienced, instead I feel loss...those days are gone, these things won't happen again. People have moved on....and I feel this collective loss. I wish I could enjoy my life now and not feel do alone.
