[quote=Anonymous]Op, I think the reality is that this adds up to you just can't have it all. I have a big family and I would feel as you do if I was an only child. Having siblings is a great experience and having nieces and nephews and aunts and uncles is amazing. We do lots of big family get togethers, and extended family is a really important part of our lives. However I wasn't able to have kids myself. So I don't get the experience of family that you have. It creates a different kind of loneliness and separation from others. Like you, I have lots of other good in my life but I think everyone has something that makes them lonely - be it no siblings, no spouse, no children, a terrible marriage, geographic isolation etc. We all have burdens and crosses to bear of things over which we don't have control and life is really about acceptance, grieving our losses, being resilient and focusing on what we do have.[/quote]
