The United State Surgeon General has issued a health warning about an "epidemic" of loneliness among seniors who have lived many years.   

We each face the reality that our family and friendship circle membership tends to diminish as you and I age. We all face personal individual decisions on how we wish to manage this isolation situation for today and tomorrow for as long as you and I continue to live this gift of life. 

Being able to emotionally connect with other humans where we can openly and honestly share our hopes, fears, and concerns is one way to manage loneliness and find individual positive answers to this important question.
