Loneliness

Hang in there Don. I'm walking again after severe nerve damage after my daughter was born 7 years ago! I stared at 4 walls for 3 years...another 4 walls for 2 more. I found CC about 2 years into it...this was my connection to others and there are wonderful people here. Looking back, I felt alone because I allowed the devil a foothold with my grief and let him convince me I had nothing left. Boy was I wrong. The Lord is always there even when we don't realize it... He was always there to lift me up and so were the folks here.
Welcome to CC!

Hi Don..I hues it has been kinda perfectly timed that I put this out ans you just happened to see it.😊Firstly sorry to hear that you had lost your leg buddy and I am sure it must of been a huge life changing experience for you in so many different ways.So nice to meet you Don.I am michael from London England and if you just look at the various threads there is one where new members can introduce themselves and other members here will welcome you...make you feel at home.. 👌👌
You had to wait such a while for your prosthetic leg to arrive and its gonna take a while to get use to...so take your time..with God help you will get there and it will make a considerable difference to your life in so may ways.Well these lots if interaction here to keep you busy plus you can post things like how I did this one about loneliness ag any time and yes it will definitely be an uplift.
The loneliness you mentioned was it due to you being unable to do the things you did before the amputation like work,hang out with friends ect ect?

Thank You

I know what it's like to feel lonely. The only friends I have are my church family. We do have small group meetings and other things outside of church, but sometimes that's not enough.

I know what you mean. I do sometimes feel the church family doesn't really feel like family, more like acquaintances. For example, no one invited me to their Thanksgiving even though they know I live alone.

"Thank you all for sharing. I hope each are blessed with God's 'presence', and we all
can be thankful of a place we can share our thoughts, and come together in sharing
our love of God's love. And, I might add, that I believe, that in ways never expected,
God often comes into our lives with new directions and new meaning to life...this I
know to be.....Praise God."
