Someone shared this link on my feed today and it really spoke to me because of the recent death of my father due to alcohol related illness and his isolation.
It links to this other story
And a Ted talk
The problem of loneliness is huge in our society. Let’s avoid loneliness and live integrated lives with support.
Great articles and so true on our need for connection.
I was sorry to hear about your Dad. Hope you are doing okay. Hugs to you.
Sorry to hear about your dad😔
Thanks for the links. I believe isolation is one of the factors for sure.
I’m so sorry to hear about your father.
Thank you for sharing I read the article and it is so true. Unfortunately we as a collective in many cultures have lost our ability to connect with others or our understanding of the importance of connection. We put it on the back burner allowing careers, television shows and the accumulation of items to be our primary focus. I think that’s why meetings and a sober community are essential for so many in recovery the community and connection heals and gives us what we really need.
Maybe a meeting might help plenty of people there been were you have wish you well
We watched this Ted Talk in IOP. It’s really good!
Sorry to hear about your dad prayers
