I feel myself getting more and more lonely

I feel quite lonely. I am an only child and I don't have parents anymore to fall back on.

When I my parents died, I expected more support from people. But this was a disappointment. Also people I saw regularly, I have not seen or heard in months.

I go out with friends, but I cannot really share my story with them. I don't have close friends. I had some good connections with colleagues, but that got less. They also have a busy life.

I feel sad about that. I feel myself getting more and more lonely. I am on my own now and that is not easy.
