She can come to my house for any holiday anytime except I live in Michigan. I hosted every year for my uncle and great aunt who were only 2 years apart in age. I have lost them all now and would have her any day!
Obviously the friends she has aren't good people. They should invite her but don't, although they know she is lonely at home. How can these people even live with what they're doing?
@@nansweetnan Your mum will never leave you, she will always be with you in spirit. Your heart will heal eventually, my heart was broken when my mum died but I know I will see her lovely face when my time comes.
Same as my ex. He had a coercively controlling mother who offered to help him with his £30k debt if he and his child moved back to Wales and dumped me. He did both.
Same here...i know I'm missing chances to have a normal life and family like everyone else but what shall i do!..pleasing my parents comes first!...for the same reason as hers!
That is Belfast, I recognize the beautiful City Hall in the background. I have so many relatives there who would LOVE to share time with this beautiful soul. Wish I knew how to reachher.

I don’t think this title should have the words - broke my heart. This is a story of resilience. She has an open heart, obviously takes pride in her appearance and maintains a positive outlook. She just keeps on keeping on, which is all we can do… I’ve been in romantic relationships during my life, and at times I felt the most lonely… Having children certainly does not guarantee you’ll be cared for in old age… I think the key is to develop hobbies and interests that take you outside of your own self indulgence.
I lost both of my parents 29 years ago this Christmas. I wish I lived near Josephine. I would “adopt” her as our new mom/grandma. It kills me that she is alone for Christmas! 💔😭
Josephine....what a lovely Gal! She can be part of our family, we'd love to adopt her, I can only imagine the wisdom and the stories she could share. Although our family is in Canada, I'm going to attempt to find Josephine, through "Model Strangers", and mail her a Card, to let her know she is important to the Grand Scheme of Things....she is loved! 🍁💖🙏🏻
Sometimes it's easy not to appear shy in the moment, depending on the day, but in other circumstances, the shyness might be almost overwhelming for some people.
This is me in a few years! Grew up pleasing everyone became a breadwinner. Helped everyone out and forgot I have my own life to build. Now all my siblings are partnered and I’m still on my own but has gotten older now. I sometimes have to beg to be included on their outings but I don’t want to ask all the time. I was so focused on work and providing when I was younger I also forgot to build my own community, now that I’m older it is harder to make friends.
There’s a whole world of people who have chosen their family members. You wouldn’t even have to beg to be included; you can come to my house!! I make a great cousin 😂
The sad thing is that Josephine ended up being worse off having an overprotective parent. I know someone in a similar situation, parents wanted to keep her at home, now she’s very lonely and her parents have died. Never hold your kids back in life!
Josephine, if you read this comment please remember that your advice is going to help many of us who take life on too seriously and care too much about others. God Bless You.
She is a lovely woman. There are so many wonderful people living alone and often lonely, especially in their senior years. We are an odd society at times. ❤
There's so many good people in the world who live alone and would love someone to talk to or have a meal with and be treated kindly. They are the real jewels if you can find them, you're blessed. God bless Josephine 🙏
Dear Josephine…sending love and hugs to you now and especially on Christmas Day 2024! Your smile gave me such a lift! From California an 83 year old lady!
It would have been nice if we could have had a way to send her Christmas cards so she knows that she has reached many of us with this video she was a lovely lady
What a darling she is. If I lived close I would totally have her over for the holidays. I hope someone on here is able to connect with her and adopt her into their family. It broke my heart! there are so many people in her position, it is so sad. Bless her heart!
It felt like I was having a quiet private chat with her one on one and that she was speaking just to me. I'm sorry for her loneliness but I'm grateful for her spirit.
I am in California so I cannot invite Josie to my home, but in her honor, I will "adopt" a local senior for the holidays (and beyond). Perhaps others could do the same? I have a feeling Josie might like to know the impact she has had around the world.
This lovely lady will not be on her own this Christmas I bet. If she lived near me she definitely wouldn’t. I hope someone near her steps up. Christmas isn’t Christmas without LOVE. LOVE one another and make Christmas and living worthwhile 💜
I I’m in Rhode Island, USA. We have a program called “The Village” where folks volunteer to help seniors. We provide rides to appt., wellness checks, visits, small home repairs or tasks, and the like. Look for a way to get active with your local community…volunteer at a senior center, nursing home, hospice, etc. our elders are often the most overlooked population, hungry for companionship. Give a bit of your time. You will be amazed how much you get back.
Somebody, please adopt Josie asap. She deserves to feel the love of an entire family. All the kids and grandkids ... everything she didn't get but especially the LOVE. We love you Josephine and you are not alone ... All our hearts are with you. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Ma'am Josephine, for the short amount of time I saw you through this video, let me tell you that I love you and God bless you🙏🏻 I'm an only child too and both my parents and all grandparents passed away already, but I'm only 28 years old. I live alone with my cat🐈,but Jesus Christ also resides in my peaceful home and in my heart. To Christopher, I love you and thank you for making these videos. God bless all of you 🙏🏻
What a lovely woman! I’ll live in America otherwise I would love her at my home for holiday! Praying someone sees this that lives close to her and invites her into their family !💕
OMG, if anyone knows her, please invite her in !!!! What a darling lady. I've never married, being shy and I feel so lonely. With a world is crueler than ever 😢💔
What a wonderful lady! Josephine you are not alone anymore. I think everyone who sees this post will love you. You are precious in God’s eyes and I for one will keep you in my prayers!❤❤
I am none practicing homosexual but never told anyone because of my culture and religion. I pretended all my life. I lived with my mother and I am nearly sixty. I am frightened when my mother dies how will I cope. Life has been difficult but mother was always there even though I never told her the truth. I understand more than anyone about loneliness. More than half of my life has passed let's hope I don't have a long life. When God is ready to take me it will be the happiest day of my life. It will be end of a long journey. I am so glad about this channel. It is one of few times when I can open up. It has been difficult but I managed to keep my dignity and uphold moral values and I am proud about this.
How lovely is Josephine, such a shame seeing beautiful people alone. Can you not use your media influence to help find her some friends. Good Luck Josephine. You are an angel.
Oh yes, they say you can measure a society on how it treats its most vulnerable - the very young, the old, the disabled, the animals. I can safely say here in Australia, we fail horrifically on all counts. There will come a time when we realise we have been weighed in the balance and found wanting.
My name is also Josephine and I am also an only child. Being an only child is also something I feel deeply has affected me and a big part of who I am. This hit hard.
When this channel gets to a million subs, I'll proudly say I was in the first 15k.
I would love to meet you !!! Praying for you to have a family for this Christmas 🎄
we are.

This!!
There's a whole movie in that 3 minute conversation. God bless her beautiful spirit.
Having a family doesn’t mean you won’t be alone.
TOTALLY TRUE.
@@Anna-ww4pv sad but true.
I think the worst kind of loneliness is being in someone's company and feeling totally invisible.
Yep
so true....
Such a sweet lady…..she needs to be someone’s surrogate grandmother…..
Yes, she would be a wonderful grandma to some very lucky children. 🙋❤
hi josephine. You can be my surrogate mother. My mom died in 2020. i miss her and am so lonely without her. God Bless you
@@nansweetnan Your mum will never leave you, she will always be with you in spirit. Your heart will heal eventually, my heart was broken when my mum died but I know I will see her lovely face when my time comes.

I felt that deep 😢💔
46 year old bloke and this has brought a tear to my eye.
Wish she lived on my street. Would love to have her for Christmas dinner.
Such a sweet lady
I don't know that she would like to be had for Christmas dinner. Lol.
@@wesmariner I'd rather have turkey...
Bless Josephine and her tender heart.
What a lovely woman. I wish her good health and happiness. 😊
She missed her chance at love because she didn't want to disappoint her parents. How sad. You made such a lovely portrait of her.
Same as my ex. He had a coercively controlling mother who offered to help him with his £30k debt if he and his child moved back to Wales and dumped me. He did both.
Same here...i know I'm missing chances to have a normal life and family like everyone else but what shall i do!..pleasing my parents comes first!...for the same reason as hers!
I relate to her a lot as a single woman, and I’ve had chances x
I regret, not living in the city which Josephine resides. I would love for you, Josephine, to be a part of our family. It would be our honor❤

Wow she's great for 87. Josephine you're very welcome to visit me in the Netherlands 🎉❤
How nice was that!? Reminds me of a time when people simply spoke to one another for no other reason than to be kind!
Yes true no one bothers any more
Goodness, almost 90 and looking like tgat is truly amazing
You look wonderful for 87 !!!

I would adopt this kind lady as my grandmother in a heartbeat 💗 my children would love and cherish her.

That sweet lady is anything but shy. She deserves all the friends in the Universe!
Sometimes it's easy not to appear shy in the moment, depending on the day, but in other circumstances, the shyness might be almost overwhelming for some people.
Josephine, is wonderful. I hope people near her see this and speak to her. She's really lovely.
I know exactly how she feels. I live exactly the way she does . It's very hard .
It would be lovely to have Josephine join in for Christmas.
Hope some of her neighbours see this
❤️
Josephine is simply magnificent!
WOW! Marriage, children, were not in her cards of life. Blessings to her!😊
Amazing. Almost 90 and as clear as a bell. Very strong spirit, lovely person.
Yes, why does it surprise you?
Most older adults aren't going to suffer with dementia.
What a lovely lady, I want to adopt her...I only live an hour away x
Try and make contact with her.
Go find her!🙏

I'm 70 and never married, no kids. It is lonely, especially on holidays. If I lived near this lady, we could be great friends.
A truly beautiful lady
But 87 and walking around and living on her own, she’s amazing!
She seems like a shy sweet person. Hope she finds a nice friend to spend time with
Lovely lady. Just needs people living nearby to her to see this vlog and give her some time. Don’t let her be lonely.
What a lovely lady. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Basil gave her a call.❤🎉
I love her candor. There's a sadness but she looks lovely; get dressed up when she goes out and holds her head high. God bless you, Josephine.
I love this woman. What a sweet soul. She'd be welcome at my table any day and twice on Christmas.
But seriously... We need to find Basil!

What a beautiful thought. 🌟🌺🌷🌻💐
What a lovely soul. Its a real shame she is all on her own. God bless her 🙏 ❤️ 🇨🇦
She looks great for 87 and getting out and about town as well.
With her mobility and living in a town she could have quite an active social life. Need to have interests and want to exchange.

Oh yes, they say you can measure a society on how it treats its most vulnerable - the very young, the old, the disabled, the animals. I can safely say here in Australia, we fail horrifically on all counts. There will come a time when we realise we have been weighed in the balance and found wanting.
