Feel lonely!

Hi Lina,

I am so sorry for the bad luck that you have had.  I don't live in Toronto and I don't know if this board handles requests such as yours.  However, I do have some suggestions for you, if you are interested.

You might check with a hospital near you to see if they have any cancer support groups; frequently the things offered by a hospital can be found online.  Another place to look would be in the Yellow Pages under various cancer organizations to see where support groups meet near where you live.  If you attend a church you might see if there are any singles groups supported by the church.  If you are just looking for contact with other men and women, try taking a class or attending a lecture or music event.  

I know how terribly lonely one can become if one has few contacts in the world.  You must make the effort to put yourself out in society; I am sure you are not the only person who is alone and feeling a need for friendship.  Everyone has a lot to offer; we all just need the chance to share ourselves.

Good luck and Godspeed.  Please come back and let us know how you are doing.

Hi,

I live in Toronto, Canada.  I had a breast cancer last year, stage 3, had chemotherapy, surgery, radiation.  Returned back to work, but my position was closed, and I am without job now.  My husband passed away a long ago, and our friends moved to Europe.

I had a boyfriend who left me for another woman after I lost job, and I feel extremely lonely and lost.

Maybe you could connect me with another cancer survivors in Toronto who are alone also, women or men, does not matter, because I just cannot stand it any more being alone, and I do not know what to do.  I do not drive, and use only TTC, please connect me with people or group where I could get by TTC, just not to feel so terrible lonely! I do not need a psychiatric help, I need friends!

Thank you!

Lina

Lina, hw have you been since this post-wish I saw it sooner.....hope you are hanging in there.....I don't know anyone in Canada, but I think this is a pretty good Board....probably more posts under Cancer, then select Breast Cancer........you know, dealing with Cancer makes us all feel so lonely and afraid-we all feel the way you do from time to time.....ask the Lord to help you meet some folks in your area and your prayer will be answered......so sorry too about your husband and boyfriend.....let me know how I might help.  Oudave  Dave
