Loneliness in old age

Loneliness in old age – the silent suffering that hardly anyone talks about.It is a topic that affects many people – and yet is rarely discussed openly: loneliness in old age.It often creeps up on you. The children have moved out, your partner may have passed away, friendships are dwindling. Suddenly there are days – sometimes whole weeks – without a personal conversation, without contact, without a real counterpart.And that hurts. Deeply.
