Anybody else having trouble with being alone?

13. Agree. Very important to stay connected and join social clubs, volunteer, or hobby clubs. Also get

together with family & friends often. Join a senior center and participate in activities. Mingle with the people around you as much as possible. Stay connected via video phone, Facetime, Zoom, etc. It's a known fact that lack of social interaction is the #1 reason for physical & mental health decline, and things can spiral out of control and escalate quickly.
I empathize with you as i've seen it happen to my own mother in her latter years, and to some older ladies i know now. There are some people in my local Dems women clubs who live alone and are experiencing the same loneliness. If you know elderly people in such a case, reach out to them often and let them know to reach you when they feel down or need help. It can save & prolong their life, and make it happier, healthier, and more meaningful for both them and you. We are all in this existence we call life together. Let's make it more bearable and meaningful for each other.
