Loneliness

I am approaching an empty nest. I have been raising my sons alone for 15 years without help, and I never asked for it. My youngest is about to finish high school, and then he will be out on his own too. I feel disconnected from everyone. My sons and I are close, but their lives are busy, and I don't see them as much as I want. I feel alone, no wife to celebrate Christmas with. I feel disconnected from God. I know that He has blessed me. I have good health, I can work enough to pay some debts, and I have a good home. I feel guilty about feeling so hopeless because I know there are people out there in much more dire places. I just know that this loneliness is heavy for me, and I really need to feel like I belong somewhere. Thank you, God, for blessing me, though I do not deserve it.
