I have a suggestion for you. Loneliness or feelings of inadequacy or emtiness can be overcome by going out and giving to others. For example, you could get involved with volunteering in children's groups like scouts or be a big sister to a motherless child or volunteer in the maternity ward at the hospital or find a family with a multitude of kids who desperately need an auntie to take one to a movie or shopping or for a walk. These things can help you to relate better to your co-workers who have kids and you will be able to discuss children with the mothers of the children you are helping. Satisfaction of knowing you are helping someone who desperately needs you is fulfilling.
Time spent with children is to be cherished.
Someday, they will be looking after us and spending time out the goodness of their hearts and a sense of responsibility, respect and love with us in our homes or nursing homes or hospitals. Back to Discussion Room .
