Feeling lonely and need to get out and meet new people!

[iwishthiswaseasier]

So I'm feeling very lonely at the minute, I have been a single parent for many years but for the last year I was in a relationship and my partner has passed away two months ago. I thought we were going to be together forever and he is the only person I have ever felt that way about.

I am very sad and even angry about it but the worst part is how lonely I feel. I'm not really the type of person to wallow so I want to make a plan. I need to get out and socialize more, I have a couple of close friends who are lovely but they all have their own lives so I can't be with them all the time and I really don't want to be alone (with my dd) all the time.

I also don't have much help with childcare so can't join anything that means I would have to leave dd alone a lot!

But I'm stuck for ideas of what I can do with my dd to get out and meet people for both of us! Any ideas?

Where abouts do you live? Play centres are a good place to meet other mums

Do you mean play centers like baby groups or do they do them for older children? My dd is 10.

have pm d you

I know how you feel, I am single parent work full time and just split from my partner as found out he has been cheating, deep down I think I new already but it doesn't make it any easier, and I don't have any real friends to talk to, and can really afford any groups to join, sorry if am ranting trying to stop crying as I write this, sorry again

There is an organisation call the Way Foundation that does meet ups for widowed parents and their children somebody I once knew thought it was great. Try that out if it is in your area. I hope it helps.
