There are times when I will be at a party of about 10 people, who I know and still feel completely alone. Why? I feel as though I have no one that understands, and for the most part they don't understand. They don't get why I am so depresssed. They think I am just sad because I miss my boyfriend (he passed away) but it is so much more then that. I wish I was just sad, but I'm also scared and lonely and noone gets that. They all say, we are here for you and you have friends. But I spent everyday with my boyfriend, he was my best friend, he knew all my sercets and I could be 100% me around him. I didn't have to be scared. I'm not close like that with anyone anymore. So I guess my question is, how do I stop feeling so alone? I know hard question huh!

" I recently lost my father, and my mom lost her soul-mate of 56 years! My mom says she feels like a ghost without him. I also see something different in her face that wasn't there before, a sadness that has become part of her. She wants more than anything to get together with her sister (who lost her husband some years ago), and we are working on getting the two of them together. Perhaps you should consider joining a support group for grief, to be around people who have lost their mates. I don't think there is anything that you can do about the way you miss your boyfriend. Only time will make it better, but at least you will not feel like you are so alone with it.

Also, have you considered writing him letters and including him in your daily life this way? Just some suggestion.
