Title
From loneliness to permanently companioned
Description
Have you ever felt lonely? I know I have. With the recent requirements for physical distancing, many people are struggling with being alone for far too long. Even before the coronavirus had entered the scene, Britain had started a successful campaign to pair volunteers with those experiencing loneliness. There are statistics indicating that the feeling of loneliness is on the rise in other places, too. Genuine caring from another individual can lessen feelings of loneliness. But at times I’ve felt lonely even when loved ones are present. So what permanently fills the void?
