coping loneliness?
Saturday, January 07, 2012
Happy is the man that has found wisdom, and the man that gets discernment...
CELL-PHONE calls, text messages, e-mails, online social networks, chat rooms—there has never been a time when the means of communicating were so numerous and easy to come by. Yet, in this world of mass connection, many people—young and old—feel very lonely.
Why?
These days, even the bonds of marriage can be threatened by feelings of loneliness.
Single parents in particular may have to contend with feelings of loneliness.
Loneliness “more often suggests isolation accompanied by a longing for company.”
“The language barrier, the lack of friends, and the cold climate all contributed to making me feel very lonely, says one filipina who migrated in Canada.
She feels like a plant that has been transplanted but has left its roots behind.
Loss of love one, divorce, separation, old age, unwanted singleness.They are mostly affected.
How can we help them?
Take some of the self help people I knew did:
1.“I try to control my thinking and to see the positive side of my situation.”
2.“I have learned not to be ‘addicted’ to the past but to move forward and start new relationships.”
3.“I put forth effort to help others, I forget my own troubles.”
4. “I regularly take long walks, during which I open up my heart to God in prayer.”
5. “I keep in touch with my friends by telephone, not to recall sad memories, but for the pleasure of keeping in contact.”
6.“I take the initiative to approach people and befriend them.”
Good tips, isnt it?
Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding. In all your ways take notice of him, and he himself will make your paths straight.
You will surely have a laugh like mine:
