"I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone" Robin Williams, actor

this isn't just an old persons problem, there are people of all ages who spend most of their lives alone.

I’m alone but not lonely.... I enjoy my own company....my books, a good movie, puzzles....etc. No reason to be lonely. Life is good. And I’m 81.

I think her main struggle is not being alone but being without her husband.

Better to be alone than with people who really don't care about you.

There is no age requirement for this feeling😞

There are many many more people than we think that are actually alone and don’t speak to anybody for long periods of time.

I'm 70, I've lived alone for years. There are days where I am lonely but most times I am fine. Prefer living alone then with someone who just makes you miserable

I’m old and widowed, disabled, alone and loving it. (I do miss my husband.) At my age I’ve learned that people pretty much suck, myself included. :) I read a lot and do a bit of gardening. I sew. I have a sweet dog. Life is good.

The fact that a clock is ticking in the background is terrifying.

I dont mind living alone. Once in a while , a family member or old friend stops by or call . What I do miss is hugging. A real sqeezy hug, we all need them.

And with Covid I am sure that seniors are feeling lonelier than ever :(

It's not just old people. I'm middle-aged and know no one at all, often go weeks without speaking to anyone except store clerks and bus drivers.

Im 73 and i have the most wonderful daughter on the face of this Earth. She will never let me go into a nursing home period the end. I thank god for het everyday. I must have done right when raising her. She loves me and im do blessed

I'm Helene, who posted here 3 yesrs ago. I'm almost 74 years now. I'm just as active and so thankful for all of the beauty and blessings in my life. To Oscar here, who commented to me, thank you kindly. I feel that as people get older, if they can relate well with a mate, and they meet a kind one, it's never too late to remarry. I have a a friend whose dad remarried at 86 years. I think it's wonderful. And also beneficial in the times we live in. I'd like to also see people in their 80's and 90's live in a senior building, if they feel too alone. I moved into a senior property almost 3 years ago. It's secure and we look out for each other and have nice activities. We are well cared for. I believe that is what lonely seniors need. There are senior HUD properties with very low rent. I'm in one. My rent is amazingly low... God bless each dear one who visits here. I pray your latter days will be sweet.🌹

Loneliest I've ever been was married to the wrong person. I.adore being alone now.

it is not only older people..loneliness has no age.. this made me cry

BEING ALONE IS TOUGH BUT BEING OLD ALONE N SICK. IS A NIGHTMARE

She's only been alone the last two years- many of us have been lonely our whole lives even surrounded by people.

It’s a society problem. Unacceptable. The older people deserve the BEST. They did everything for us.

It's so painful to see her crying from within.

Breaks my heart. I too live alone. I'm in my sixties and have no one, it's very hard. My faith in Christ and my little dog help.

I’m old & enjoy being alone. When you have the Lord you’re never really alone.

I'm 87, wife passed 10 years ago and I live alone. My children all grown up and visit occasionally, my grandchildren at the same time. Those are great moments, icing on the cake! To me, loneliness is a state of mind that can be neutralized by enjoying your own company, creating a circle of like friends for getting together once in awhile, joining an organization that you enjoy, keeping healthy both physically and mentally, getting a good night sleep and eating healthy. The group of men I associate with volunteer in the community to make items like bird houses, outdoor furniture, benches, serve meals at a local public school, do projects for non-profit organizations and service clubs, etc. They buy the materials, we manufacture and assemble/paint/stain/whatever. We enjoy giving back to the community because it benefits the community. This gives us a sense of worth and allows comradeship among our friends. The key is to not stay at home gradually deteriorating both physically and mentally. As individuals it's our personal responsibility to get off our butts and become involved. Sitting at home pining away is not helpful.

Loneliness is a plague. It happens to all age groups. It happens to those who just don't deserve it. Loss from death, betrayal from those you thought you could trust. I'm middle aged and alone because I stood up to abusers. We just have to carry on.

Not just the old. Many an abused child out there. Since the age of 6, I too know what it's like to be alone.When a mother or father fail you as a child, you will always know the feeling of loneliness.

I’m 74 and have been beyond busy all my life- as a single parent I worked full time to support us . Now I live in a small apartment with 43 birds ! They are the best company ! I’m also agoraphobic! I love my life !

It actually feels like a curse sometimes. I'm 65, living alone since 62 and I can tell you it feels like I'm the only person on the planet sometimes. No words to describe how debilitating....crippling, loneliness can be.

I love being alone. After living in a toxic relationship for many years, living alone has been a wonderful blessing. I would never consider having another relationship. I can do what I want to do when ever I want to do it. I can pursue the things that I truly enjoy. I can go so far as to say that getting married was the single worst mistake of my life.

This brought me to tears. Bless their hearts. I’m very fortunate to be so introverted and very content with my own company. I prefer to be alone most of the time. I can’t imagine their pain. I just want to hold that ladies hand and tell her it will be alright.

Loneliness starts creeping in the day you realize your friends are not around. Your relatives have abandoned you. Now you are on your own . Its sad but it happens to the best of us

Living alone isnt my choice but a destiny. I"m scared that the time will come then i realize that i am old and all by my self.

I am old and alone and I enjoy it. For now. Time for conversation with my soul.

I miss my parents. Tears flowing tonight.. take care out there.

I know that a pet cannot replace the warmth and comfort of a human, but it helps a lot. Having a cat waiting at home is a great comfort, and once a bond has been formed with a furry creature with awareness, they become like family. Even a little bird can fill that lonely gap, if you allow it to. Animals do need some care and attention, and for some elderly people they may find that bit too much to cope with, but if they are able, especially if there's someone willing to help if needed, it can be such a blessing.

Seriously my heart breaks for everyone feeling so alone😔

After watching this I applied to volunteer at LBFE. Instead of saying how sad this is, get up and do something about it. I found it sad, and instead of feeling sorry, I decided to volunteer to help these people.

I'm 70 years, living alone by choice and loving it. But I'm very young for my age and very healthy. I know how blessed I am. But I also feel for the elderly who are sad and lonely and have no one to care for them. I'm very active and that makes a huge difference. I'm real involved in emailing, texting, talking on the phone, and projects around the home. I've also been called to Christian service and am still very active with others, teaching and counseling and giving. My mom passed away this year, who was living with me for the past 3.5 years. Although I had lived alone for 24 years prior to that. My mom would have been 99 years this Oct 2020. She was very mobile and mentally alert. She took care of all of her own needs with the exception of cooking and laundry. We have great genes and my siblings are all over 70 years. We're all very active and healthy. I do thank God for good health and an alert mind. When we have so much, we need to give thanks every day.

When I'm alone, Im never lonely. The only time I've ever felt lonley is in a relationship, when I needed them emotionally and they weren't there. Ive since gotten over that, but learning that really made me look at what I invest my emotions in.

I don't know why I felt compelled to watch this. Lived my entire life as a loner, dedicated to study and work and at 54 a single middle aged boring man. I can envisage me sitting there alone sipping tea and reminiscing on what might have been. That was my short sharp n sorry story shared. Say that while drinking beer ! Greetings from Italy.

I am 83, and I have found my faith in Jesus has helped me so much. I keep my mind active studying the Bible and praying. I find word games and puzzles keep my mind active. We cannot give in to it as far as possible.

I have an 87 yrs old friend. Most of her friends are dead. Two of her three children are dead. Her now only daughter has not spoken and visited her in nearly ten years. We go out at least twice a week. We speak on the phone every day. We like spending time together. My mum is no more. She is like a parent figure for me. We complete one another. She needs me, but I need her.

It's heartbreaking to see how many younger people don't dedicate time to the older generation. I go spend time with my 83 year old mother DAILY. I don't take it for granted. It's my top priority. I bring her food, help with chores, keep her company, make conversation, take her on outings, make sure she's healthy and has everything she needs. I don't understand why everyone can't find the time to care. My heart breaks as I watch this video.

Some of us enjoy being alone. I can't stand most people.

Am 56. Feel like a society reject. God bless all those who feel alone and lonely.

....An old saying I made up, “I'd rather be alone on a desert island, than be alone in a crowd.“

One is Never alone who has opened their hearts door to Jesus. He's my best friend, truly.

I am 53 and living this way. I miss my spouse and my family. After a catastrophic event ruined my health and career, I now am mainly alone. Coping and even keeping your home tidy or bothering to cook is draining. There is not much assistance for anyone in these circumstances at any age. The changes in the world have added to this issue. As a teen I worked in a donut shop that was open 24/7. Three old widowed men came in twice a day and sat at the counter. They came once mid morning and sat for a couple hours, then they returned later in the evening till they were tired enough to go home to sleep. I loved talking to them about their lives. They were blessed to have a place to even go. Now nothing is open past 8 pm so I sit and think about those little old men from over 30 years ago and ponder over how dammed lucky they were to even have a place to go out to where there was LIFE happening. I sit alone mainly. When my neighbors TV goes off at night across the street, I feel it. There is even a small comfort when they are in their living room with lights on and watching their tellie. When they shut it off, I sit and miss LIFE as I once knew it. I wonder how to cope if this is what remains for the rest of my days. Today I am trying to cook and making a lemon pepper pork loin with carrots and potatoes and I wonder why I even bother. There will be no one to say it was good or even that I over cooked it. Dating sites have proven to be filled with unsavory souls and I am preparing myself mentally to just DEAL. I wish it was different and have 1/18 faith of a mustard seed that it will change. If it never does, I just must cope. Nothing else to do but cope. It’s likely why I looked up info about it today.

I’m only 22 years old and I’ll go weeks with out speaking

The older I get the more I realize that loneliness is my future...

There is commonalities between the Japanese elderly experience and these Brits. In Japan, after decades of a busy life as salary men or workers and also raising children, the retired are put out to pasture. The loneliness must be terrible for those who were so integrated in Japanese society. I have known many foreigners who would practice their Japanese of seniors since they had the time and patience to talk for hours. In Canada there is a new program where university students live with widows and widowers in their home and interact each day. It helps the student financially with affordable housing and the senior with some discussion over at least one meal per day. It appears to be a success.

You don’t have to be older to be lonely. There are more people living alone than ever before and we are not meant to live alone. I don’t know how I would get by without KZfaq videos to stay connected with the world. Although there are many days where I go without talking to anyone. I am a 61 year old widow who retired for medical reasons. Family and friends have their own lives, although I have one friend I speak to each week and I am grateful to count her as a friend. We do have to find ways to engage with the elderly to enhance their lives.

You know whats worse? Being with someone you can’t stand or having to be a caretaker.

i visit a older neighbour few times a week, we have a good chat and cup of tea, i feel better for my visits, and the lady i visit has a smile by the time i leave.

The irony that I'm 27 and relate to this. I've struggled with impermanence in my friendships, never had a lasting relationship, my family lives abroad, no one calls my phone. Being introverted is probably a gift that has kept my loneliness at bay though, and given me a natural adaptive edge to thrive in my own company. A life without hobbies / talents / learning will inevitably feel like the above.

I’ve been lonely all 33 years of my life so I’m used to it. You find comfort in your own isolation

There’s a big difference between alone and lonely. I’m alone a lot, but I don’t feel lonely- I like it.

Loneliness is a state of mind. I grew up in a family of 7 and felt alone. Parents worked 7 days per week and there was no happiness just neediness. No love, trust or security. Now I prefer to be alone since I don't trust anyone. Sadly, my family are those I trust the least. I choose not to be a hypocrite any longer.

I’m never truly alone, God is ALWAYS with me.

I gave up on people because nobody wants to speak to me or hang out with me. I just isolate in my apartment now and I'm not even old, though I'm 32 and have physical disabilities and chronic pain and am autistic. Nobody wants to be around me or be my friend. It's lonely, but that's the way it is. Tried to make friends for years. Just doesn't work. It's better to be by yourself. Don't worry about making friends.

I love living alone and being alone too. As long as lave a beloved dog or cat next to me , I’m good to go..I like people but only on my terms. But when I’ve had enough of them. I must retreat back home again to recharge myself. Feeling lonely must be awful. .I’ blessed to have never been that way as I can remember....

my heart goes out to them..... my husband left our home for “someone he liked better” ten years ago..... Am still not used to being alone, now our children have their own lives. I long for the rush to get dinner on the table and loved faces coming through the door, but that will not happen any more. Fortunately my son found me a companion, Alfie.....a dog who is now my shadow and comes everywhere with me. I would recommend older people to get a little dog....it doesn’t have to be a puppy, many older dogs just need someone to love them and keep them company, as do many older people. Vet fees in UK can be helped through charities, it is a wonderful thing to see two oldies from different species looking after each other, a win win situation, for both. Alfie makes me smile, gives me hugs and makes me go out for walks, all wonderful things.

I'm in my 70's and have lived alone for 20 years in an isolated cottage in the countryside and I can honestly say they've been the best years of my life. Some times I don't see anyone for weeks apart from the Tesco delivery drivers. I love it. That said and I do understand people who lose life long partners suffer terribly from loneliness.

I lost my son to in the military and lost my mother last year and my father to i always pray to the lord every 🌙 night because i know i will see him when my time comes

Margaret is dressed so beautifully! Classy lady.

It so very very sad to see old persons so alone at the end of their life. I am LatinAmerican, our culture is family and friend oriented. We are always on the look out of our old family members. It is not well accepted socially to send the elderly to a home, unless it is absolutely necessary because of a specific family problem. I am a widow, I am 75 years old, when my husband passed away, immediately one of my children came to live with me. My son comes to lunch every sunday with his children or takes me out for lunch. When my mother became old, and she was very indipendent, I moved to an apartment in a building next to hers, she had the keys to my apartment, my husband and children loved it, and she would come every morning to read our daily newspaper and have a cup of tea. Thank God we are always concerned with our older family members.

The "Village Movement" is a nationwide movement to help older adults age in their homes. In my area we are called "Love Living at Home." Once a senior becomes a member, they can access all the benefits of membership from rides to the doctor, grocery shopping, handyperson assistance, etc. We are seniors helping seniors!

A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. Psalm 68:5

I'm alone I'm 86...I pass the time on you tube....reading...I'm an avid reader always have been. I do watch tv if there's something I want to c. Not just mindless stuff...in summer I walk. Cant as much as I used to...I have couple friends. Younger than I. They're mostly 60s. I have sisters in my faith. If I need ride I can get it... it relatives I seldom hear from..its sad. On summer I sit on balcony a lot. I've always enjoyed a front porch now I'm on 9th fl..I still enjoy looking at traffic and people. There's a community em in my senior tower but I usually dont mingle...it can be like a small town...u have be careful. Yes I do wish I'd hear from relatives more...but they're not responding single for my happiness...I try to set goals. Like one wk I plan to clean drawers or closet. I find things to do. But yes..I'm tired and wish I were young again lol. But this is where we all wind up. Waiting just waiting..dont ever forget. Your creator...He knows. Ask him for what u want

jeez, ticking of that clock sure doesnt help that situation

It’s very good this video was made, to share with others the pain and desperation some people feel when they are all alone. We must be sensitive and gentle to the people we know are alone, as this lady lost her husband after an entire life time of having him in her life. We must offer kindness and help those around us without family or living alone as much as possible. Honestly, something must be done about this huge problem, it’s not humane to forget about our seniors, just because it’s easier for society, or because they are old.

Goes to show that even if you have kids, it doesn't always mean you'll not be alone. I saw this all of the time. When it really hit is when you see or witness it first hand in your own neighborhood. Back when I was a substitute teacher, there was another substitute teacher who is an elderly man who got a stroke three years ago and he was all alone in that hospital bed. I visited him in Saturday, a day consider time spent with family, especially those at hospitals. Traditionally in my family,if someone is at hospital there is always, always, someone there to keep that person company. To see him at hospital all alone made my heart break. I am use to the idea of keeping company to the elders, especially during a frightening time like surviving a stroke. I saw a family visitation at across the hall and thought to myself, "How sad that I was the only visitor at hospital at that time. A co-worker. Where are the family?" I don't know why. Something within told me to visit him. To show him there is still some good in the world. It is hard to explain properly why I visited him, but to see him in that darken room alone made me cry within. If I gotten sick like that I had a sister and mother who visit me constantly and made sure I was never alone, especially with a frightening episode like a stroke. 😥I visited my grandma constantly when she ended up in the hospital constantly due to heart complications. It was just something you do. Keeping someone company does a lot to the mind and spirit. Never underestimate that. Even turtles seek out company.

True story: I was reckless in my early 20s. No sense of respect for anyone other than myself. I was selfish, bitter and filled with animosity towards those who wronged me. I moved to an apartment building and next door was this elderly woman. Probably in her early 80s. She greeted with a smile and every morning she would sit outside and say good morning to anyone that walked by. I would start my day at 7am and come back at 5pm and this woman would still be there. She asked for my name and she would always "good morning!" and my name afterwards. A month later we would start talking and I'd make small talk. One night, after a night of partying, I went home and saw my neighbor, this old lady through her kitchen window and she was still awake and watching tv. There was nobody there but her. I knocked her on door, she opens the door and I asked her why she's up so late. The first thing she said was "nobody has ever knocked on this door for 8 months". I laughed and I told her I was just curious as it is late. She asked if I was hungry, I said "yes, I am going to make some cereal when I go to my kitchen". She laughed about my cereal statement. She says she made dinner for herself earlier but could not finish. She asked if I wanted some food. I said ok. She told me to come in and eat on the dining table. She prepared left over meatloaf and potatoes and to this day - that was the best meatloaf dinner i have had. As I was eating, she asked where I was from. I asked where she was from and we basically spent 30 minutes talking about her family history. She has 3 children and they live out of state. They only visit once a year. Her husband used to work at a mill after fighting in the pacific in WW2. She was a kindergarten teacher and retired in the 1990s. Her husband passed away 30 years ago. I'd look at the pictures on the wall, her family, grandkids, places she used to visit. She spent most of her days sitting outside and watching the news and old shows at night. I thanked her for the meal. When I walked out the door she said to me these words "This has been a wonderful night. Thanks for stopping by, come by again soon". I went home, I sat on the couch and realized something - The world actually has some nice people who care about others. Each week this old lady would make me these amazing cookies. She would also sometimes bring me over food (all my money went to rent and i was practically living on cereal, bread , peanut butter and ramen). I finally got a chair and sat next to her out front of the apartment and we would have saturday morning coffee. I was even lucky to get more food for sunday brunch as she made them! She made coffee on this percolator (which made really good old school coffee). Then one day, the ambulance came and picked her up. Weeks went by and she has not come back. A woman and a man stopped at her place and started moving things. I went out and asked who they were and she said they were her children from NY. They suspiciously asked me who I was and how I know her and I told them I am her neighbor, I have coffee with her every weekend. They looked at me and said "Yeah, thats strange.. my mom does not do that with anyone. You sure its her?" They jokingly laughed and said that was not her at all. I asked what happened to her and they told me she got hospitalized, had a stroke and disabled with 50% memory loss. I asked which hospital and I told them that If I showed up, she will know who I am and that I was telling the truth. Surprisingly, they invited me that evening to see her. The son opens the door of her mothers room. She was sleeping. I pulled up a chair and sat near her. Her son was yelling out loud to her mom to wake up. I didn't like his gesture of how she woke her up. I just had a bad vibe towards him. She woke up and I was the first set of eyes she looked at. She raised her left hand and held mine. She said in a slurred speech "How are you" and said my name afterwards. The children were shocked. Pure shock on their face. I had a little smirk seeing their faces. The son said she hasn't said much since her stroke. She started talking and talking but were all slurred that I could not understand most of what she said. I got the ok to visit her whenever I can. I'd come by and have coffee (but no coffee with her). Her children gave her the family album and saw pictures of her when she was young and I complimented how beautiful she is - then and now. She really was very pretty in her 20s. Her husband was a handsome man and this man had that grit look. For a mill worked, the man looked like hed been working steel for years. Her speech started to get better and I would help her pronounce the words. Three weeks later, she got the ok to be on assisted living. Her kids found an ok assisted living place. I was allowed to visit of course. 4 months later, I found out she passed. She had another stroke. The son stopped by and dropped off something for me. Old books, pictures, really old furniture and decor. Last but not least, i got the darn percolator to make coffee. I said my thank you and the son told me to make sure you clean the percolator and open it and clean it well before you use it and for me to wait until the weekend. I waited 4 days to make a cup of coffee (it was on a weekend). I opened the percolator and there are two pieces of paper. One was a check and the other was a note. Out of respect, I checked the note first. It says "Mom wanted to make a coffee and baked goods shop back in the 60s. The book contains recipes from what she was going to have for her shop. The shop never came about because she had kids and could not open the shop. I am sure you know what to do. Thanks for everything. You made her last year a wonderful one". I read the check and it was for $30,000. The check says "For the coffee shop". I found out she inherited a fortune after her fathers passing. A trust fund was given to the kids.The kids decided to give me this gift (which was a big deal, the kids were really wealthy and did not trust anyone outside of the family circle). 1 year later, I opened "Black Forest Cafe" in california. It thrived and learned about how to run a business, trial and error and made some of the best pastries, cake and home cooked meals. I made all my coffee in percolators. If you are reading this, your success to best coffee is using a percolator. The business stayed opened for years. I eventually sold the business just right before the 2008 recession. I gave the $30k back to the family but they refused and gave it back to me. Instead, I kept the money and saved to plan on opening another coffee shop.

Heaven forbid their family members should dedicate a bit of their precious time to bringing some happiness and company to their lonely lives. I remember, when my grandfather was alive and lonely, I used to visit him often and get him to tell me about the most interesting and memorable events in his long colorful life. Talk about some incredible family and otherwise life stories; better than most novels around. That experience turned out to be among of the most enjoyable, meaningful, and life-enriching moments of both of our lives; and I still relive them with great fondness. We all have a lot to share with, and learn from, our elders - they are a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and experience, abandoned in the age of virtual reality.

They need to get those two lonely people together!

One of my biggest fears when I was young was being abandoned and alone. When it happened I was still relatively young. Now I am 60 and quite used to being alone that I don't feel lonely. It helps to have the internet to connect and to have pets, especially if you are retired. Keep your mind and body active and you may feel less lonely. Come to think of it, my fear of abandonment was so great when I was young that I didn't go after the man I really wanted because it would hurt more to lose him. I married twice and both to men I could tolerate losing. That is a sad admission but I do have a serene, peaceful life now.

You can tell she genuinely loved her husband and misses him. Not very common these days.

Why dont these two meet for tea,surely someone could arrange that

This is just heartbreaking. I just started my job as a carer and unfortunately many of them don’t have family and friends to visit them every day. Specially in this difficult times of COVID-19 they are more alone than ever. 🥺💔

I m so lucky that I realised so early in my life that we need to be at peace and contented with ourself..it should not be dependent on presence or absence of a company...i believe being lonely is a blessing in disguise especially when it comes early in life..like in 20s...

That’s so sad. Loneliness is the curse of modern society.

And yet everybody avoiding talking to old people that's a shame.

It’s sad. I live with my 75 year old mom and I couldn’t for the life of me understand why she is so clingy. I hated it because I prefer being left alone. But now I understand 😢 I will try to do better.

The damnation of a long life , to see everyone leaving you behind.

My mom is 73 yrs old and lives with me. Shes divorced and has noone else. Theres no way I would leave her to be alone and fend for herself. I cant believe theres people in the world that leave their old relatives let alone parents/grandparents to survive on their own.

I like being alone. I was so relieved when me and my ex broke up.

So sad. I'm willing to chat with anyone who needs a friend!! Big hugs to all.

When lonely, become the solution to someone else's loneliness.

This is why community is so important. We have let community slide over recent decades. People don't connect with their neighbours much any more. It's important to do it though. The lonely elderly people in this film are just examples, they are a drop in the ocean. In your community right now, there will be people like this. Alone, struggling. We can all help though. A visit, a kind word, a favour. Offer to tidy their garden, take in their shopping, ask if they need anything fixing, chat to them for 5 minutes. All very simple things we can all do with very little effort, but things like this make a huge life-changing difference to these people. Look out for each other.

I'm a woman, single and Introverted. I think I'll be okay being alone. I enjoy my space and time with the Lord Jesus. ❤

There are so many of us retired in our 60's who would love to talk with those who are isolated. Many of us just want to listen rather than talk about ourselves. We just can't seem to make a human connection in a virtually connected world.

My mom is elderly and was living alone too. But I took her home with me and will never let her live alone again. She’s happy being with us and her grandkids. I’m happy that she’s with me and that I am taking care of her. I love her too much to let her live a lonely life. Kids should keep their parents when they are old like that.

At least this older people have gad a beautiful life story, many now are young lonely, without a good past nor a good future

I talk to myself in the bathroom at 26. So I won't be THAT lonely by their age.

I am grateful for these folks sharing their experience of my greatest fear.

For the elderly of today who lived through WW2 & the Korean War and the great depression, loosing their mates can seem like the last straw. Especially if they are used to having families around them. Gosh my heart broke listening to these dear folks. I wish they could come here.

I just cried so hard out of nowhere !! That's it I'm volunteering somewhere!!!

This completely broke my heart....💔

Sad, I lived all my years with my mom until she passed in 2003. I was also looking after my grandmother. Your parents should never live alone without someone take care of them, we're never know if we ourselves will be in same position. All the elderly need is care and love.

Sending prayers of love, friendship and strength. I hope God will bring her lots of safe and loving friends. Amen❤🙏🕯🛡
