As a military community, I think one of the biggest common denominators among us is that we all know what it feels like to be lonely. In the transient military lifestyle, we need to be the new girl so often, start over in one form or another so frequently, that loneliness and the longing for connection becomes a very familiar feeling. Loneliness is a tender topic, one without formulas to follow or sometimes even a solution, though I do offer some ideas and things to consider.

For another kind guide on loneliness, Emily P. Freeman's episode served me well- listen to her on The Next Right Thing Episode 114: Welcome Your Loneliness.
