Hi catrina,

You will make friends. You will also one day be in another relationship. But people are like fish. Hard to catch with a rod (time/patience/you go to them) but sometimes easier to catch with a net (when they come to you). What I’m saying is there will be friends and a loved one. Later/now/tomorrow/next week. Grab onto Faith more than Hope in this one.

And not to be morbid, but the people who would show up at your funeral/wedding, those are your friends. Including family you wouldn’t think of! Maybe reconnect to old classmates, people from your hometown, friends of the extended family?

Meanwhile, your job is to be utterly comfortable being by yourself. You can say, “The weekend? Oh good, I get to: read, go places, do things!”

Maybe set a date to visit your family? At a low key time (i.e. not holidays).

Good Luck!

Inky
