Feeling Like Everyone's Slipping Away

Salaam everyone, I've been feeling kinda down because it seems like I'm losing people around me, like family, close ones, my husband, and even some friends. I honestly don't know how to deal with it. I've always tried to be kind-hearted. I love and care for people, maybe a bit too much at times, and I really want the people in my life to be happy. So it stings when they drift away or just aren't there anymore. The loneliness hits hard, even though I know there are still some who care. I have this one best friend, but she's in another country. She's amazing and really gets me, and I'm super grateful for her, but I wish she could be here with me. I keep wondering, why is this happening to me? Why do I keep having to say goodbye to folks I thought would stick around? Maybe life's just changing in ways I can't grasp yet. Maybe some people are only meant for certain times. But I'm so tired of losing people and having to act strong all the time. I just wanna feel like I belong somewhere, with people who really choose me, stay, and love me for me. I know Allah is always with me, but it still hurts, you know?

You're not alone, habibti. The loneliness after losing loved ones is a test, but it also brings you closer to Allah. Your friend sounds precious. Hold on to that bond, even from afar.

Sis, I feel this in my soul. May Allah ease your pain. Sometimes people leave to make space for those who'll truly value you. Keep making dua-He never wastes sincere tears.
