My guess is one of the reasons you feel alone is that you are in fact, at home, emotionally alone. Hopefully the therapist and groups that you are in can help alleviate this. It’s possible to be alone and not lonely, whereas now it sounds as if you are not physically alone yet lonely. Consider if you do go forward, if building a house on the lot next door gives you enough space.

Wishing you happiness as this works itself through.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
