Why is there nobody willing? lghawaiian: Yeah, so, 2 weeks ago, my mother died. It's been very difficult for me, and I have nobody here who is strong enough or willing to sit by me and help me through this. I have a number of wonderful friends, and some very close ones, but I'm so lonley and I have nobody who really cares enough to be with me, or even talk to on the phone at this time of night. It's nobody's fault, I'm busy during the day, I work second shift, and everyone else is sleeping. Fine. But I do know that if I was around during the early evening or the day, people would shy away from me. I have asked for help only to be left alone with stammering excuses from those not prepared. I'm not asking for words, I'm not asking for guidance. I'm pretty good at figuring that out on my own. I am asking for people to be around me, and nobody has the time, it seems. Have I really become that much of a burden? I feel like it. I never wanted to be, so I find myself putting forth tremendous effort to fight the depression, mourning and sadness. I can feel the pain burning in my chest when I push the happy out. It's becoming difficult.
I'm just lonely and bummed. I know this isn't divorce or breakup related, but know that the hearbreak feels just the same.
Re: Why is there nobody willing? AngelBaby: I know I am probably the last person you want to hear from, but I want you to know that I have been thinking of you and praying for you and A and L a lot since I heard about your mom. I can only imagine how difficult the last 2 weeks have been for you.
I am still here, and more than willing to be an ear on the other end of the phone line. Like I said, I'm sure I'm the last person you wanted to hear that from, but I'm still here C.

Re: Why is there nobody willing? PennyLane: Man LG, I'm so sorry to hear that.
You say you have a number of wonderful friends. LG, your true friends would MAKE time for you not excuses. Real friends don't shy away from being with a buddy when they need them most.
I've truly learned through good times and bad, loss of a parent and my divorce that you find out who true friends are.......and sometimes the ones you least expect to be there are the ones that can pull you through.
If some of your friends and or family arent around (or can't be around), think of talking to a counselor.
We're here for you on here. You definitely have friends on here.
Hugs buddy

I have true friends. They are either sleeping because they have to work, away for the last couple days, or otherwise busy. Most of them have been around the last couple of weeks... But I'm realizing that not many of them around here are strong enough to take on my problems. I'm actually planning on moving out west this year, so we'll see what happens with that. Making new friends all over again at 26 kinda sucks though.
