Hi Panamagloria,
I'm so sorry you are in this situation. It must be very hard not seeing your grandchildren and your daughter not speaking to you! I have a similar situation. My son hasn't spoken to me in 30 years. Like you, I don't know why. There was no disagreement or anything. Also my husband died a year ago so now I'm totally alone. I'm 79 and most of our friends and family are all dead and up in Heaven. I have just given all of my concerns up to God. I pray often and my prayers get answered. God is there for us. We just have to ask for his help. I even told God that I was giving my son back to him so maybe he could straighten him out.

I have accepted the fact that I am now alone and probably will be for the rest of my life. I started cleaning my house thoroughly. When I was caring for my husband with cancer the last year of his life much of the heavy cleaning got neglected. So now, I'm trying to do it a little each day. The flower gardens need work also. Find something that can make you feel useful and happy. It doesn't have to be cleaning. That's just me! Maybe join a group at a Senior Center or find a church you like. This forum is very useful in finding many nice people who are having problems too. Someone is always there to talk to and it helps. I've been comforted by people on here many times since my husband died. They take the loneliness away.

I hope things work out better for you. I'll say a prayer for you.
PML

I also make projects for myself. This summer I worked alot on my backyard. It makes me feel like Im accomplishing something and the physical activity is good. Stuff I couldnt do when the kids were young and I was working. It is satisfying but still lonely. I wish our senior center had activities or something. This forum, altho Im brand new to it, really makes me feel less alone. Less damaged maybe. Thank you for your share.
