Welcome and I'm sorry I stole your thread! :)
I'm not sure that I have the answer for how to cure those feelings. I think it is going to take some major changes in my life to overcome this loneliness. In the meantime, my Therapist encourages lots of contact and lots of journaling. We've talked a number of times about "carrying him with me" so I can feel him when things get tough. I think it is similar to what kids are supposed to learn when they separate from their parents. It also is about trust and I think by finding out that I can consistantly trust him, I'll learn to trust others with my needs.
In the meantime I use lots of distraction techniques when times are hard. I watch movies, play with my kids and write, write, write. And for Mother's Day my kids made me a swing so I can sit out there and read or write on my lap top.
