@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, How About A Group For "singles, Widows, & Widowers"?

I think the "Join-a-group" idea is terrific! However, there are many of us living alone or who lost their "significant", ("love of their life"), living alone, some on fixed incomes, who have experiences that "couples", thankfully, have no concept of what we feel. I reach out for Tony's hand, & it's not there, & it can be a "gut-wrenching", lonely feeling. It is my suggestion for joining a "Group" with similar experiences that sharing may help put to rest someone's loneliness. AnneKristine💗

I think it would be a very good idea. I have experienced loss & pain, but I have never experienced the pain & longing of losing my Soulmate. I would give whatever comfort I could to you, but I would be unable to empathize as deeply as I can with a person that has lost their only child from a drug overdose. It has given me a grace & light to perceive the pain & aching of this other mother’s heart, body, & soul. To be known &
understood in this way is healing in itself, & carries with it a measure of peace. What a gift to give & receive. The same as those of you who have lost the other part of yourselves in losing your spouse, those who are single, or divorced, & those who for other reasons live alone. You all have the ability to know & understand each other in a more personal & profound way than those of us who are still with their spouse. Again I think to be known & understood is really a gift & brings a new sense of peace. It may be irrelevant but, My vote is “ Go for it “

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member....No! It's "Put your right foot in, put your right foot out, you do the hoke poke, & you turn yourself about....& then you walk out." Hugs, AnneKristine 🩷

Anne I seen the other day they had started something call groups with a couple of different Sub headings. Living alone wasn’t on the list but on the bottom was a place to suggest a group and I think it would be a great suggestion. Sometimes you can be with someone and still feel alone. I know but it’s so nice to come hear and have so many people that get
what I am going through, I hood you can find what your looking for or make it happen here it is a good place to be!!!
Blessings
