can't get over it

[cakemadness]

how do I like living alone???? someone please tell me.. I hate it!  I have been divorced for 5 years after a 28 yr marrage that I loved being in and truly loved the man i had married... everybody thinks it's so easy to just get out and meet someone.  well it is not!! I don't care what all these good hearted "married" people say but there are not that many men looking for a 52 year old woman.. I hate being alone, i don't like doing things alone and I hate always having to go to bed alone and waking up alone,,,no one to love or love me back , no one to plan vacations with or really anything elese...Yes I have family but they have their own familys and when the day is done, I am still all alone...if there is a secret to this I wish someone would tell me about it, because it is not getting easier,it's the most horible feeling in the world!!!!!

Think of all the things you enjoy and do them.  Find things that gets you involved with other people so you can meet others.  I know it's not easy, but this is your life now and you need to live it for YOU!  Finding peace and happiness within ourselves is hard to achieve, but once you do.....you will feel so free and content.  Get involved in church, the more you do the better you'll feel and you'll up your chances for meeting someone.  Love will come when you're not looking and least expect it.  Fill up your life with all you enjoy, and volunteer either thru church or other organizations, anything to keep you busy.  That way you can appreciate a quiet home and time to kick back and relax.  I do know this is all easier said than done, but you have to live your life and not miss a moment of it.  Best wishes.

I think the thing to do is to make it as comfy for and enjoyable for yourself as you can. Join some clubs,meet some new friends etc do things you enjoy! Love will come but it a shame I think to have a misrable life while you wait.

i would suggest a roommate if you have the space or want to move and you make sure they are someone you can trust and get along with first nobody can make you like being alone some people just aren't like that if you don't want to move or have a room mate i suggest you join groups for activities you like that will at least limit the amount of time you spend on your own
