Sometimes it is one simple, unselfish act that helps someone break away from the loneliness she is feeling because she knows she is seen. She knows others care. She realizes she is not alone. OnTheBlog
Two years ago I went through an intense time of loneliness after a bilateral mastectomy. I was physically exhausted and home for weeks with the drains, taking the time needed to recover. It was a daily battle waiting for my body to process the trauma, heal, and move to the next step physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I went from full days of activity, meaning, and purpose to a dead standstill. All the busyness and interactions with others came to a halt.
What do we do with this loneliness? What do we do when we feel like life is swept away, and we are standing alone? We can wallow in our sadness and continue down the deep well of isolation. Or maybe we need to be intentional about connections instead. This is not always easy when you are sinking in feelings of abandonment and it seems that a part of you is missing.
Several other friends who are single have found the best way to combat their own loneliness at times is to reach out to others. Sometimes that means spending time with a family, going to a soccer game, or taking their children out for pizza. Other times it is intentionally planning a dinner with others, building community and connections.
One of the greatest gifts that lifted the loneliness I felt were the people who would come and sit next to me even while I slept. I remember waking up in the hospital with my sixteen-year-old daughter next to me holding my hand. To wake up with someone near meant I was not forgotten. I was not alone. The gift and power of presence was an unspoken need but brought a wave of comfort and peace each time.
