The best antidote for me is always service to the people that I care for. Sharing home made goodies and visiting those who cannot get out. My family are gone now so I have chosen my new family, this has been the best choice for me. When needed get out and enjoy your life, what else is there!❤️🌹
The sooner you understand that life comes in cycles and ups and downs, the easier it will be to deal with. It is irrational to expect life to be one way always or mostly. Simply ride it out and make the best of each period.
Some of us have no one all year..after the Holiday days are just normal days to many. I have been 100% alone for 6 years but I am not sad. Silence is golden and reflective times peaceful and pleasant. Just know many of us have no children; no friends ( moving after death of spouses) no usual routine…but many of us do NOT feel lonely…even those of us in our mid seventies!
I was alone at Thanksgiving and Christmas so there will no change after the holidays. I have spent more holidays alone than with someone. You get used to it somewhat.
A TH-cam channel is a great expression to distract from living alone. My friend is the other side of the world, but is so kind to me. Any of the arts is also great to do. Formal volunteering would be difficult, as being around people is a health hazard.
I miss my holiday alone adventures. It’s the best time to travel , no lines at venues and e ez tickets to fly etc . I used to go to NYC great food and so much to see , DC lots of museums . I always met other single lonely people don’t was fun . Im 70 now , remarried early 60s and had 3 children. It’s a lot of work and hard to travel but very enjoyable.
Family always come and stay with me over Christmas holidays great fun. But always end up feeling sad and lonely when Christmas is over and the family have to go home.
Christmas n every holiday is just another day to me. I have no family they have all passed n adult children are estranged from me for years now. Except my oldest son who wanted to be in my life,but who was murdered.😢 I'm alone n on my own.
Old age is a privilege denied to many. As a flight attendant for over 35 years I cherish the after Christmas silence. The stores are empty so then I shop. Also a long time ago I call these holidays Hallmark Days. Volunteer work fills my soul.
Guess I'm a " SCROOGE ". I looked forward to their departure because finally I could relax and breathe. **** SIGH, AHHHH ****. Alone now, I still keep the traditions on a smaller scale and I can add my own additional new traditions. 😊

Well said!
Not easy to do this when mostly all there is is the realization life will never be what you wanted and with age the opportunity will never come.
I actually find it refreshing when holidays are over and I can get back to my routine
Same here. Always a big relief when the holidays the over and life is back to normal.
There's a difference between being lonely and being alone ! I love My Solitude !!!
Me too
The calls and visitors never even happened
yep, right there with you.
Me 2 !!

Only the commercial side of it. You're NEVER alone when Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior.

There's not enough time in life to help all that truly need help.
Around the holidays people make more of an effort. Afterwards not so much.

Thank You. I find these very helpful.
This life advice is so practical and easy to implement!

I'm so sorry x

I don't celebrate these holidays and enjoy being alone during them. I'm a 63 year old senior, silence is bliss.
It's all about money and emotional manipulation. There isn't much to be sad about when you can see it for what it is.
Spot on!!

how old? my only problem, I have no money for Christmas shopping, just for fun...
Elderly
You are not alone...
Sometimes I look like it. I don’t get company anyway
Why does it feel lonelier because it is
very true...loneliness really hurts...right now....sending a hug
