Mine was when I celebrated my birthday and Christmas alone because my family was out of the country and they could not fly due to the very bad weather. It was the time when Thailand was hit by a very strong Tsunami. I really consider that moment as the loneliest. Could you ever imagine being alone in your birthday. Though my friends were there but they could not compensate the presence of my family.

Hi shameh1202! There are two loneliest moments in my life. 14 years ago, I spend Christmas and all occasions in that year without my mother and everyone in the family are grieving on her passing. The second one when I was all alone in London, 2 years ago. I spent Christmas alone because my husband was unable to join me there. I really hope both of us will never have to be lonely again, shameh1202! Take care and have a nice day.

That was really so sad. Thanks too, and I do wish and pray that we'll never be that lonely again. But we are still survivors cause we were able to surpass those sad and lonely moments in life. Good luck to both of us!

I have always excelled on top ever since I was on my elementary years. However, I was able to get a failing grade in my second year in college and it made me really so sad and lonely considering that I have disappointed my parents. I know I could have tried enough to get a good grade but instead I just kept hanging out with my friends and didn't take my studies seriously. They never reprimanded me for getting a failing mark but I know deep inside them, they're too disappointed on me.

Life is really full of surprises. We will never know if those surprises are good or bad. It is simply because life is not at all a bed of roses, it also has thorns that are needed to be embraced with open arms. All of us should always be ready to face life's battles for we will never know it will come in our lives. You may be so successful today, but on the next day or after, you'll be depressed. But the most important thing is that we will remain strong at all times.

Sorry to hear about your loneliest moment. :-(((
Last year's Christmas and New Year. My hubby and I got married in November last year in Indo, then he had to leave back home before I could join him in Finland. I had to do the paperwork and apply for my residence permit before I could join him. It was the worst time of the year for me. We were both sad since we didn't know when we could meet again. We ended up being apart for almost 4 month after we got married. I was SO jealous at everybody else who could spend X-mas and New Year with their loved ones last year. Thank GOD we're now together and this year'll be our first X-mas together he he he he...

Exactly, nothing compares the happiness we feel if we are with our loved ones especially during very important occasions. Those special people add much color and meaning to our lives. Every second spent with them is worth reminiscing("v")

That's so pity of you. You've strive so hard in order to attain appreciation and when it was awarding time, none of them were able to come up but it wasn't their fault at all.. blame the politicians, lol:-)

Right after graduation, I left my homeland to look for a job in a big city. At first, I often feel so lonely because I am some miles away from my family but I always keep in mind that what I'm doing is not just for me. So even if I'm away from them, they are still close in my heart because they are my inspiration in all my endeavors.

Your story is really so sad. I understand that you've traveled so many miles and have stayed away from home just to seek for greener pasture for your family and future. I know that it is not easy to be away from home and family. And you were courageous enough to fight life's obstacles alone. Keep it up and you'll surely succeed in your endeavors.

I would say in like I think it was 2002. I was living at home, and with my family. But my younger sister, whom I am close with, moved off to college. I was SO depressed with her gone for the first week or so I cried all the time almost every day. I felt lonely and sad. After a while I got used to it, and enjoyed her when she was home and when gone I enjoyed the freedom of having my room to myself.
