I’m not married, but I keep busy between my grandchildren, visiting with my mother, and going to the store to just walk around. I just recently picked up a 10-hour per week job at church. I don’t have time yo be lonely.

I know that loneliness is not a very good thing. At times I feel lonely because I am not married anymore but I have to thank my God that I am alive and He helps me everyday.

I believe it. I try to attend as many social events as I can, breakfasts, lunches, card club, and phone contact with friends.

As the article points out, one way to combat loneliness is to connect with others, and doing it online makes sense for all of us since many of us live in an area where there are few in-person opportunities to connect. It is much easier to connect this way even if you are feeling poorly. I invite anyone who is feeling lonely or who just wants a face-to-face connection to join us via Zoom on Tuesday the 17th. I will post this again on Tuesday but here is the link if you want to join. https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0vfu...

I believe this is true and was made worse by the Pandemic.
