How do you manage loneliness?
Hey everyone, I am a travel nurse about to take on my first contract outside of Canada! I wanted to pick your lovely brains on what you do to manage loneliness. This is a two part question:
- I’m about to start a life in Australia, leaving everything behind for 1 year +. Do you have any advice on networking and building community in a new place? I want to be intentional with who I surround myself with, how do you maintain a standard of friendship when the urgency for connection is strong?
- Leaving home has brought up lots of feelings. I feel there is a disconnect between myself and my loved ones who can’t relate to the experience I’m having. I feel as though time spent with me is not being prioritized by my loved ones which has left me feeling ironically lonely before I leave. How do you grieve imperfect goodbyes?
