Being alone is a challenge for many people. This challenge has loomed large during the holidays if you are single or divorced recently and without family around you. Festive time to share love, many people end up feeling depressed when people around with whom to share the love. If you are in this situation, what can you do to make happy holidays instead of depression?

Key phrase here is "love" share. People often think in terms of getting love instead of giving and sharing their love. They do not realize is the law to give their love meet too.

Gail had grown up very emotionally distant family alone, with parents who freely gave their love and relatives who were too distant and cold. She married a man emotionally distant, and after 7 years more unity, decided to leave him. This was the first holiday season alone.

Gaile decides she won't be alone and lonely again this holiday season. She had done some research on service agencies that need volunteers and found shelter for women in her area for women and children who were hiding from abusive husbands. The shelter was badly needed money for food, and that she had no Gale. They have this time to help gather food. Every day, after her job as a Secretary, Gail went to markets in the area until they found some willing to donate a Thanksgiving dinner for mothers and their children. Then, on Thanksgiving Day, she spent her time in shelter cooking and decorating and employees, after Thanksgiving dinner with these brave women who have left abusive husbands to save themselves and their children. It was the best Thanksgiving ever! By choosing to share her love with persons in need, and felt full of love.

Gale was an experience the fulfillment that she found a part time job in addition to normal functioning small because they can afford to buy gifts for the children at the orphanage for Christmas. This was a fun buying gifts for children and watch their faces a little joy as she opened them on Christmas day! Gail felt anything but alone and lonely.

Gary was in a similar situation to Gail. He's alone, and he was the only child of parents who are no longer alive, and had no relatives. His guard did not give him the chance to make friends. Gary has spent many holidays alone feeling isolated a few years ago, depression and decided to do something about it.

Gary love animals. As a child, his dog was the main connection with love. After some research, I discovered there are wonderful animals shelter Gary during half an hour his house – shelter that I love and care for animals and not euthanize them. Gary began to volunteer one day a week at the weekend – clean, feed and play with dogs and cats, and help on interviews with people who want to adopt pets and meet other volunteers. And he found it really connected with people who have volunteered there. Many of them were peace-loving people who were deeply devoted to the care of animals. As he placed his friendships, he found a new sense of family that centered around the shelter. Thanksgiving and Christmas were sometimes spent now with other volunteers who were not for families, sometimes with families of some volunteers. Life may become full and Gary. Last I heard, he was dating a woman as he volunteered at an animal shelter.

Regardless of what your life situation, you can always share your love with others. Instead of feeling alone and lonely this holiday season, open your heart to give. There are many people and animals who will welcome you with love.
