Loniness can affect us all when we are least expect it!

As you know there are a huge percentage of people who suffer with loniness and usually they are not far away from you. I suffered with the condition many years ago and I found the worst times were holidays where it is traditional for family and friends to get together. I found during these times the condition was greatly magnified. So if you ever come across someone who are by themselves, especially if they are of a senior age, it doesn't cost anything or much effort to greet them, i.e. a simple hello or just a smile if the situation allows it, as it's good for their mental health, as it is for yours.
