Need a hug!

Sending you a hug from Cornwall

Oldwoman, Have a look at the gransnet page for meetups. You may be able to find some friends in your area who might also like a hug occasionally. Are your sure your present friends wouldn't understand your need for a hug, they may actually need one themselves but don't like to say.

Gigantic hugs from me too (((((((HUGS)))))))

Another big, warm hug from me x

I like the teddy idea ? Big hug from me (((((( hug)))))) ?

I relate entirely and I'm sending you a warm heartfelt hug ((((( )))))) xxx

Here's a hug from me too. It's the lack of physical presence that gets you, don't you think? Lots of support on here.

How about organising a Gn meet up? Then you could get hugs from all the Gners in your area?

Being ‘touch deprived’ really sucks doesn’t it? Ever though of getting a rescue cat? Could be a mutually beneficial solution?

And from me xx

I know just what you mean, I really miss that physical contact too. I so enjoy that lovely hug I get when I do see my two sons and my daughter in law gives the best hugs ever. Sending one to you.

Aw, huge hugs, oldwoman. I know the huggless feeling. Husband is currently suffering from horrible shoulder pain and is not feeling very well, hence huglessness around here.

A really big hug from me too and a x

My daughter and I were talking about having nobody to cuddle us in bed, and decided we would market a pillow that cuddles.
Alas, someone already had the idea!

Oh c'mhere oldwoman for the biggest hug ?‍♀️. Everybody needs a hug sometimes. When I was on my own I had a really big teddy bear I would put against my back when I went to bed. Worked wonders to sooth and comfort me. First time Ive told anyone ?

A warm, snuggly hug from me, too.

Another from me!

A biiiiiigggggg hug from here too

Big (((( hug)))) and cwtch from me too

I can relate exactly to the need for a hug. I am lucky in that my family are great huggers, but it is not quite the same. I do have a memory bear, one of four, a friend of mind made from my late DH shirts and ties and he sits by me on the sofa, but unfortunately he is rather reserved!

Hugs and from me too.

Call me mad, send in the men with white coats, but here is a suggestion.

Buy yourself a large snuggly toy bear, pop him beside you in bed and when he has settled into his new home give him a bear hug and maybe when you are settling down at night give him another big hug. Chat to him when you wake up and you may be surprised that in a few weeks you could not be parted from your lovely new friend. ?

Thank you all - I don't know why I am feeling so sorry for myself - there are many a lot worse off than me. Thank you again all you lovely GNs

Loadsahugs!

I hug my friend’s dog ( it’s like a teddy bear) but granted, it doesn’t hug me back.

A great big hug from me x
