Being Alone or Feeling Lonely? The Grief of Loneliness

You can have people who love you and still long for someone to listen and understand what you’re going through. Sometimes, the pain comes from the gap between the relationships we have and the closeness we need. In this episode of Transforming Grief, we explore the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and how loss and life transitions can affect our connection with others. I share ways to express your needs, find opportunities for connection, and learn to enjoy your own company. I also share the story of a woman who, while facing the limitations of an illness, found a meaningful way to stay connected to a community. What small step could you take today to feel more connected? Ligia M. Houben https://linktr.ee/ligiahouben www.ligiahouben.com
