The Loneliest Generation: Americans, More Than Ever, Are Aging Alone

[Bradshaw3]

7. I could write a lot more on this subject

I've seen a lot of what they are talking about but not having a subscription I couldn't read them. I've seen a lot of the loneliness in the area I live in but find it interesting that for many having kids doesn't help since they don't visit that often. I know from working with psychology researchers the importance of social interactions to a healthy lifestyle but I've always kind of gone my own way and have been fine with that. I am one of those mentioned in the article as living alone and without the close kin to help in times of trouble.

I don't know what I will do when I get older but maybe aids like the one mentoned in another post will help when I get really old, or maybe I will still be able to fly to Alaska in winter, walk out into the tundra with a bottle of bourbon and drift off into a permanent sleep.

Thanks for posting.
