Nowhere to go

No home.

Nowhere to go.

No one who needs me.

Kids are grown and have their own lives now.

Live in a caravan.

Have to keep moving.

I guess that is it.

Sorry to hear you are feeling lonely Peter.

 

If you don’t want to keep moving for a while, could you ask family or friends if you could park your caravan there? Have you applied for the public housing waitlist? I understand the Salvation Army can assist with housing in certain circumstances.

 

Could you arrange to catch up with your kids or other family members or friends? Engage in a hobby you enjoy (eg Mens Shed) or volunteer?

 

If you are feeling depressed, it might be good to book in with a GP to discuss. Medication can help some people feel better. You could also ask for a mental health plan if you think it could be good to have psychological support.

 

I hope you can access support soon. Wishing you all the best
