I sure hope so. The loneliness is killing me. Even when I am with people I feel alone because none of my friends have ever gone through anything like this so they can tell me how sorry they are and how much they sympathize with me, but they can never really understand how I feel inside.
Don't seek that sympathy from any "friends", I wouldn't relay any of this information. If you NEED to talk, talk to a cou counselor, a deacon or preacher.
I would not give this information to ANY friend or family member, while you are looking for a positive statement. It doesn't work.
