You’ve had some major life changes and took some pretty big leaps. Congratulations for having so much courage! After going through all you have gone through, feeling lonely is natural and normal. Be gentle with yourself as you go through those emotions. Give yourself time to grieve your old life so you can fully embrace the new one you have embarked on.

If you are ready to go out and meet people,check out meetup.com groups in your area. You can join groups that are based on things you are interested in and it will allow you to meet new friends. 4 years ago I uprooted my life in Florida to move to Charleston SC where I didn’t know anyone. I was able to find meet up groups for people interested in spirituality/wine tasting and various other interests I had. I now have a full, rich social circle and a wonderful relationship with a man who has helped me get past a lot of past hurts in relationships. Once you get ready, meet up is a wonderful resource for connecting with new people. And lastly, enjoy the process of reinventing yourself and you’ll be surprised at all of the beautiful things your new life holds for you! Good luck!
