As a nurse of 28 years I can attest to the fact that having a houseful of kids does not guarantee that you will have a family at your side in your old age.
People who have a somewhat normal family relationship cant even really comprehend what is it to have no family to call on.
Having a healthy and strong family is great. Having a toxic family is worse than being without a family
I postponed my colonoscopy for years because i had no one drive me home from the procedure.... no one would help me. I paid a coworker to give me the ride home
My mother recently passed away at age 92. She was my last family tie. But she had a younger very best friend who was as close to her as a little sister, and I have now "adopted" her as my Aunt. It is so nice to have someone that can still share memories of my mother and my family....I am blessed!
Better to have no family than one that hurts you all the time 😢
Am I the only one who when I have a bad cold or flu worry about how anyone will find me when I die?
What’s most tragic is getting really sick and having NO ONE to call for help or support, it’s a scary situation 😞
I’m approaching 70. I have no family.
If I'm super sick or injured I call 9-11 and go to the best hospital ER in the area. And pray. Actually i pray the whole time. It's worked for me so far. I'm 79.
Dealing with difficult family members is worse than having no family at all.
It is better to be alone than with toxic people We can't choose our family but we can choose our friends
I don't have any family. My dad's side disowned me 30 years ago for going public with Grandfather having molested me. They never spoke to me again. My only child is estranged and my mom's family are all dead. My parents died over 10 years ago. I literally have no one but myself and my dogs.
I had a family.
It helps me to know I am not the only one in this situation.
I used to take care of an old woman, I lived with her for almost 2 years. The only person that I ever saw was one of her multiple sons... He had to go on the weekends so I could take those off. She was a nice old lady and had plenty of family... So, no, having a family doesn't guarantee anything.
Following the passing of my mother i walked away from my extended family for my own protection . They are jealous , hostile and toxic , i deserve better .
We are born alone. We die alone. If somewhere between birth and death we have genuine family, that's a gift.
I'm alone. Almost 60. Never married, no children, both parents dead, no siblings, no Aunts or Uncles, they've all passed away or in their late 90's and out of state, cousins here in the States are either Drug Addicts, or Alcoholics. Other cousins are in England and Ireland. Growing up we were all close and spent every holiday together. I was VERY close to my parents and all my life spent every vacation I ever had with them.....there was no going to Club Med or anything like that with friends for me I ALWAYS wanted to be with my Parents during vacation time. I lost my Dad in 2012 and my Mom in 2015 and have basically thrown myself into work. My family now is my dog and cats. I do have a small circle of close friends and I'm fine with that. Holidays are the WORST for me now though.....
This is my situation and I’m convinced that a “Golden Girls” arrangement is what I’m looking for. Making a chosen family to enjoy and care for each other ❤
