How can I stop feeling so lonely, My son left to a different State?

look kiddo whether you are old or not you are still alive so get out into the world and see a need fill a need for example your son has moved on with his life , now you need to move on with yours. you need to be brave and go and see if animal rescue have a paid job for you so that you can meet people and have friends . and be the best person you can be or give advice to people that have no clue on being financially thrifty and squeeze every cent out of the dollar. you know use your wisdom to help othes . alot of people will be great ful with some assistance many will be like go away but if you have a job and it is paid that you wont feel so alone. maybe even do a course to be a community counselor for the uneducated or dole bludgers. think about it.

You need to stop depending on your son for your emotional support. You need to find a senior center where you can go and talk with other people. You could also volunteer your time in an elemtentary school. They always need people to come in and work either with the kids or doing prep work. Your son is a grown man and needs to do what he needs to do and you need to find a way to live without him.
