Your timing on this is surreal. I had a great morning this morning, until I was overcome with overwhelming loneliness - it felt like it hit my out of nowhere. Your post (and especially the voice message) helped me accept it was happening, ride it out, and feel better on the other side. Thank you.
Also, the older you get the more friends and family pass away. Eventually, you may be one of the few left. If you don't have children, grandchildren etc. you can always reach out and make friends by joining a group that has the same interests as you. Go to church, volunteer at a library, a homeless shelter, whever there are people there are needs and you could be the answer to their prayer. Reaching out and being friendly makes friends. Loving and accepting people where they are at helps. Make connections where you can.
