Loneliness this Christmas

Saza

Hi,

I was reading a post recently. I realise that a lot of us here experience loneliness. Either sometimes or all the time. We find it hard to recognise where we have connections e.g. here. 

I'm wondering if anyone has any coping mechanisms in mind for Christmas loneliness and other struggles? 

I think I’m just feeling worried for us all!

  • What carries me through Christmas is my Catholic faith and truly realising and embracing the reason for the season, actively ignoring the overly-commercialistic elements, which in recent decades have caused so much suffering and hardship to so many people, having worked for over 30 years in supermarket retailing - this was massively brought home to me in Christmas 2020 and I will never forget that heartbreaking time as long as I live
