I am alone at home.

It's been years that I have been alone at home. My wife and kids never allow me to stay alone at home but this time it's different. As my father in law has expired so they have stayed there at his home and I have returned home today after his funeral. People like to stay alone but I am different I never like to be alone at home. I am sad as whenever I close my eyes I get the picture of my FIL. This Sunday I will bring my kids home but till then I don't know how I am going to live alone here.

I don't want to be alone too. This happened to me in my apartment. When I closed my eyes, I saw myself sad because I was alone. So I decided to stay in my brother's house for awhile.

I am sorry about your FIL... I'm surprised your wife doesn't insist you stay with them at his house. I'm sure you'll find something to do... You can always come to myLot and talk with us.

I stayed for two days there but I had to come because of the job. She insisted me to stay there but I didn't. I will go there on Saturday.

@sjvg1976 Oh, I see... Is your FIL's house further from your job than your house is?

You must be so sad right now. Too bad you can’t stay with your wife and kids. Take it one day at a time.

@DianneN, his wife should have thought about the weariness and loneliness of her husband. Being alone in their sorrowful mood added fear and somehow bad thoughts may appear.

@LadyDuck my wife will stay there for at least 13 days which is a ritual here. Then she will return but she will be going frequently there now because she won't allow her mom to be alone at home now

I don't mind staying home alone. In fact, we seldom leave the house empty for safety and security reasons. It's understandable that you keep seeing your FIL, you were close to him and liked him, but maybe try to remember happy memories instead? Or try "talking to him" in your mind? (If that doesn't feel weird to you)

I got your point. But it's not easy to forget him when a few of his things are still at my home and have to return them (clothes, toothbrush, etc).

Yes it's really hard to be alone in a house without the family. Hope you can bring at least your kids soon.
