What is missing from your life...

[Sarcelle]

As title says, what ONE thing is missing from your life, and do you plan to do anything about it?

Mine is passion. I don't have it in my relationship or in any part of my life. Life is okay for me, but just ticking along. A bit meh. I have no idea how to get back passion into my relationship but I am going to try a few hobbies to see if I can be passionate about something, anything...

You?

Money here too.

@essential there is no such thing as trivial, whatever is missing from your life is as big a deal as whatever someone else is missing. It's just different, you're just as important as everyone else.

Children.
I was sure if we just did ivf one more time we'd get there , it wasn't to be.

More recently....... financial security.
We're both self employed and I've become ill.
The future is looking very uncertain right now.

I don’t have a partner so I suppose that.

But I’m happy, I have a beautiful ds, a nice place to live, a job I enjoy and money in the bank to pay the bills.

I’m honestly not envious of anyone. It would be nice to have a partner, but not if it upsets the happy way of life we have achieved.

to those who have lost loved ones.

A partner, children, friends, mental wellbeing.

I used to feel like I contributed to society, that I gave back a bit more than I took and it made me fulfilled. I'm missing that, when I get a new job I need to find something extra to enrich my life.

A gentleman caller.

Oh I'm so sad that so many of us are suffering so badly. I'm sorry for all the posters who have lost the loves of their lives. I'm sorry.

I miss passion. I miss purpose. I miss numbing myself with alcohol.

My beautiful son, it's been nearly seven years since he died and he left a gigantic, unfillable hole where my heart used to be.

I have no next of kin, my DH died, I spent my childhood in kids homes and foster care. Although my children are now young adults they have ASD.

Time for myself and to be able to put myself (and for others) first for once.

Am full time carer for my difficult and demanding DM. Her multiple health issues mean she is either at a doctor's or hospital appointment. Added to this I have a constant low level worry that her health will deteriorate and we'll have yet another emergency hospital admission.
Alongside this last year DH developed sepsis and had to have life changing surgery to save his life. He has been positive and 'got on with it' but his loss of independence means I also lost mine.

I miss me, my job and silence.

The sea shore

I’m in need of vitamin sea but live so far inland it’s not easy to get to

Grandchildren.
My sons are both in their 30s and happily married but it’s none of my business and I would never raise the subject.

A baby that was lost two years ago. I’ve gone on to have another since but I still feel like someone is ‘missing’ from our family. A bit ridiculous really because it was a relatively early miscarriage and people go through far, far worse.

On a more lighthearted note, a flat stomach. A beginning to resign myself to the fact that no matter how much weight I lose, I will always have a wobbly tum that has been stretched by two giant babies.

My best friend. We had a falling out 2 years ago and we’re both too stubborn to apologise 😕

Mine is support.

I am so tired and fed up doing everything for everyone and having no one to lighten the load. No family support, a very lazy husband and no close friends locally.

Flowers and virtual hugs to all who have such loss to bear. 💐

My best friend died three years ago and life is so much less now. Bleak.

My lovely mum. It's been 4 months and I can't allow myself to think of her. And that I will never see her again. Unbearable so I deny.
