Feeling alone

I've been fighting with my mother a lot recently, which is new for us. My father passed in March and my mother and I always got along great until then. Now, the extreme adjustments are making us essentially re-learn each other and there's new tension. She's also met a new man, not really meaning to, it just happened. She isn't trying to rush into moving on, it just so happens that this guy came along a few weeks ago and they are really clicking. So, we've had some tough talks about that. Ultimately, I am learning to be supportive, after expressing concerns. Besides, it's her decision.

But I'm here writing and sharing because I feel quite alone in this. Additionally, someone I love has been radio silent for two months, the summer has brought legal issues and very costly maintenance issues...so I'm just generally feeling quite low and alone. Thank you.

@gentleEast8898 Hey, you are not alone and you never will be. Sometimes life gets complicated, but the bad times won't last forever, remember the phrase "After the storm comes the rainbow". Here I am for you

@gentleEast8898- why is it that problems come in packages. Not just one thing to deal with at a time. Letting you know that you are not alone. Thank you for sharing- we all need reminders that others are tackling issues too. Take care.

@ScoreKing Ah, the big question....Who knows why, but it sure does seem the case for most or all of us. I suppose the silver lining there is that we can all understand the feeling. Thank you very much for taking a few moments to encourage me, and I wish you great encouragement in your own journey as well.
