Not everybody gets to enjoy the comfort of companionship all the time – I suppose. I know of students who\u00a0felt\u00a0friendless and helpless\u00a0in a new school environment. I’ve heard of young kids who felt lonely when their siblings or parents are away. I know of people who felt lonely as single adults. I\u00a0have come across married women who felt lonely even after having found a life partner.<\/p>\n
Being almost a 100% introvert, I often prefer to be left on my own, i.e. being alone, in my own world. At my workplace, I usually steer clear of crowded tables at the canteen during lunch time. Crowds drain energy from me. Perhaps that’s why nature appeals to me. It is quiet and \/ or devoid of man-made activities.<\/p>\n
However, I hated the emptiness in the house\u00a0after Yang left for his trip to San Francisco. Perhaps I didn’t realise that he was very much part of me since we knew each other and got married. The loneliness is especially unbearable when I have nothing to\u00a0distract my mind.\u00a0This brings to mind that one day\u00a0when we are advanced in years (God willing) and one of us may call home to the Lord\u00a0sooner before the other, how are we to cope with the separation?\u00a0May the Lord strengthens us in our\u00a0hour of need and gives\u00a0us hope for the great reunion to come. How great the joy must be to be at home with your loved ones and with the Lord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
