Moving Hardships

About last week’s programs with Susan Miller, about the effects of a move on the family, particularly on the wife/mother, a sobering comment:

I enjoyed the broadcast today.  I moved three years ago.  The first year I made somewhat of an effort…attending a women’s Bible Study group at church.  But I almost want to quit attending church, because we just go, sit down for the service, then leave, without a word, without a friend.  My husband has never had a lot of friends, just work associates, so this has never been a problem for him. I feel so desperate, so lonely.  I guess maybe this morning’s broadcast was telling me to get out and make more of an effort.  I’m just not sure I can.

It’d be great if someone at her church would reach out and establish more of a relationship.

I wonder if you have some ideas which might help this woman find a way to beat the loneliness?
