My wife worked in a SunRise assisted living place in California. She would tell me that few occupants received visitors. Most were abandoned by their families. I think the church needs to step up in this area.
“Most were abandoned by their families.”
Sad. That is probably the kind of loneliness the article is talking about.
You are right, churches could help — and so could schools, it would be a good opportunity to teach children empathy and kindness.
I must be the walking dead then, I hit 60 soon. the only human contact I get is at work. If I died no one would even notice until the body started rotting, my company would just replace me, the only phone calls I ever get are from bill collectors. Lonely ? No. People suck, half are commie liberals, the other half are selfish capitalists, who needs em [/sarc]
