Being alone.

@LadyGrace God is a Supreme Being who created human beings. This is the belief that can dispel loneliness. This is why there are billions of people going to churches, mosques, and temples. People who don't believe in God have other ways to dispel loneliness. They find partners to spend time and share lives with. People use each other as comfort animals. Dogs and cats are also comfort animals.

@sree251 I didn't say they didn't and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm just stating that we're really not alone.

@LadyGrace You are not alone as long as you have someone to talk to or relate with. But inwardly, when you are by yourself, you are aware that you are all there is. Only you, and you die alone.

@sree251 I understand what you're saying. I've been living alone, since 2005, when my husband passed away. There's also this thing where a person can live alone, yet not feel or be alone. But if someone does feel alone there's no crime in that certainly. Nothing wrong with that. I think it depends on how a person looks at things. Do I sometimes feel lonely? Yes, I'm human. But I know I'm not alone truly because I happen to believe in the Lord. Some don't. That's up to them. And yes, when we live alone, we have to take care of ourselves. Certainly, no one's going to do that for us are they? Haha I think there's things though that people can do not to feel so lonely like visit with friends or ask friends to come over or family if they have family. But as far as dying alone, I may just pass away by myself in my apartment, but I will never be alone because I know Who holds my hand, and my future.

@LadyGrace Hey, I am not trying to rock your boat. You sound like a pretty stable gal and that's great even if belief in God keeps you that way. The most important thing in life, in my opinion, is to live safe and happy. 2005 was a long time ago. 18 years without your life partner. You are like that rock upon which Jesus built his church.
