New here - hoping not to start the year alone
I just turned 62. I have no family or friends and am so alone. I cared for my parents until they died and I am terrified that there will be no one there for me. I have no one. 😞 I am so tired of being lonely. with nothing to look forward to.

welcome to forum it is hard to be alone...
I too feel alone a lot and forget that I do have some it is just they are in different places and it feels like I am bothering them.
It is hard to make friends sometimes as we age. is there any places to meet up with people your age? volunteer opportunities ?
While online can provide support and comfort it is not always where an online friend can be their on the time you need. i hope you find some comfort chatting here to help ease your loneliness.
You gotta friend, the holidays are always the worse to get through alone. You see people enjoying it while being alone.
Do you have any hobbies.
Hi SunnyBug I like your uplifting moniker. It was so good of you to care for your parents. I am turning 60 next year and the life I imagined had ditched me a decade ago. So I understand the fear of growing old alone. I have kids but they don’t seem to be the type who are able to care for me. I am trying to be brave to face an unknown future. A lot of us are having to be brave this way. I wish our golden years didn’t have to be this way.
