I know, I have been alone and abandoned for 6 years. From someone who constantly threw family parties, church parties, helped with anything I was asked to do, to being alone on Christmas Eve and part of Christmas Day even though I did nothing to warrant it is a shock and is horrifying. I saw the alone on Christmas thread and it was very sad.
If you feel abandoned then you need to find new friends.....there’s a scripture that says he places the lonely in families...maybe you need a new church family as well.
It’s difficult to advise people because one really doesn’t know what created the situations to begin with.
I am solo because to date that is what I choose, I have learned to enjoy my own company and if otherwise I have friends I also enjoy. But it was up to me to find those friends....and the Lord to put us together.
I’ve often said if I did not want to be solo over the Holiday, and had no family or friends I would certainly volunteer to the local food kitchen and the like.
The Christmas alone thread was hardly sad to me, rather a time where all came together FOR those who felt alone. As well we celebrated together.
Might be you need a mindset adjustment a little bit.
