2. You feel alone in comparison to what?

I know that the constant barrage from the media implies that everyone, or the great majority of people, have loads of family members, friends, etc. I don't think this is actually true. Sure, some people do, but many, many do not.

You are truly lucky to have a wonderful husband and daughter and a few close friends. My suggestion: when you start feeling "small and alone" talk to them, not to a mythical being.

Have a wonderful holiday!
