We apologize for the unplanned break between episodes, but we are back with a discussion about isolation.  We wonder about saints who have experienced isolation, have a discussion about hermits, and discuss ways we have seen isolation affect our loved ones.  We hope this episode is thought provoking and addresses a hidden suffering.  God Bless!
