the worst thing for me being alone is not having anyone to reach things which have been put out of my reach by part time carers
the next is i really miss having a warm chest to snuggle against for a hug. a hot water bottle inside a teddy just doesn't hit the mark!
then there is not having anyone to talk to, to share good times with, to bounce ideas off, to reassure me that what i am planning is the right thing to do etc.
how do i cope... good question, i think things through thoroughly before deciding on anything, i have a couple of male friends who are great at giving hugs when i ask for one, and i have learnt to ask for help/advice when needed. if all else fails i rid my frustrations in poetry
