Feeling lost....... ( Archived) (29)

aww sweetie yes please reconsider finding this site and the people on here has been a soothing balm to my soul
and i adore each and every one i have had the pleasure of talking to. just hang in there!

Sweetie,
I have the same feelings you do ..Like Cris said we all feel then from time to time..I feel alot lost right now..Alot has gone on in my life in the last month and I have NO ONE to vent...talk..too, cry on their shoulder... i have to deal withthis myself ..I have left the forums before but came back youd be amazed at how many ppl her etruly do care..

We havent spoken much, but do what you feel you have to.... no one will hold it against you...

However, let me say this too... there will always be those here who do have a sympathetic ear should you need it.

I think you are not alone in trying to put your best face foreward...
People get tired of reading problems...
Know what? I could care less, really. In reality we deal with these things every day...
And, anyone worth the space in my life and heart? Will care, or at least know me for me.
Just be yourslef, and we cannot alwyas be strong.

be well, you=o)

Guess that makes 2 offers!!

Does the old saying "Let Go and Let God" have any meaning??

I've felt lost since my fiance' died. I don't have anyone to lean on or go to with my concerns. I could talk to him about anything and I truly miss that. I feel lost without having a "best friend".

Hi sweet,

Try to keep things in perspective and not put all your efforts into just one thing.

You feel you should take a break here and try to find yourself first? I believe you should be doing that anyways, finding yourself, spending time with or meeting new people, making friends you can have coffee with, etc....

This is a singles site and bulletin board, where you can spend time with people, make friends and maybe meet someday in the future.

I haven't "found" a special guy on here either and doubt that will happen in this site, because of the distances in locations.

It's ok to come here and spend some time, get feedback on ideas, read, or just laugh at some of the jokes.

My time spent here is brief but daily, trying to keep things of importance in perspective.

Good luck

So much bad happened in my life in the last decade + that most people might have wanted to end it all. It can be a struggle every day, but faith and humor seem to be my crutches. I don't get into the forem often so don't really know everyones frowns/smiles but I would say if one has siblings/parents/family that they can talk/confide in then they are very fortunate and should take advantage of it.

An Act of Kindness for a Broken Heart...

My husband, Hanoch, and I wrote a book Acts of Kindness: How to Create a Kindness Revolution, which has generated much interest across America. This story was shared with us by an anonymous caller during a radio talk show in Chicago.

"Hi, Mommy, what are you doing?" asked Susie.

"I'm making a casserole for Mrs. Smith next door," said her mother.

"Why?" asked Susie, who was only six years old.

"Because Mrs. Smith is very sad; she lost her daughter and she has a broken heart. We need to take care of her for a little while."

"Why, Mommy?"

"You see, Susie, when someone is very, very sad, they have trouble doing the little things like making dinner or other chores. Because we're part of a community and Mrs. Smith is our neighbor, we need to do some things to help her. Mrs. Smith won't ever be able to talk with her daughter or hug her or do all those wonderful things that mommies and daughters do together. You are a very smart girl, Susie; maybe you'll think of some way to help take care of Mrs. Smith."

Susie thought seriously about this challenge and how she could do her part in caring for Mrs. Smith. A few minutes later, Susie knocked on her door. After a few moments Mrs. Smith answered the knock with a "Hi, Susie."

Susie noticed that Mrs. Smith didn't have that familiar musical quality about her voice when she greeted someone.

Mrs. Smith also looked as though she might have been crying because her eyes were watery and swollen."What can I do for you, Susie?" asked Mrs. Smith.

"My mommy says that you lost your daughter and you're very, very sad with a broken heart." Susie held her hand out shyly. In it was a Band-Aid. "This is for your broken heart." Mrs. Smith gasped, choking back her tears. She knelt down and hugged Susie. Through her tears she said, "Thank you, darling girl, this will help a lot."

Mrs. Smith accepted Susie's act of kindness and took it one step further. She purchased a small key ring with a plexiglass picture frame -- the ones designed to carry keys and proudly display a family portrait at the same time. Mrs. Smith placed Susie's Band-Aid in the frame to remind herself to heal a little every time she sees it. She wisely knows that healing takes time and support. It has become her symbol for healing, while not forgetting the joy and love she experienced with her daughter.
