Loneliness is often viewed as a shadow that looms over the golden years, but understanding its nature can empower retirees to combat it effectively. At its core, loneliness is not merely the absence of people; it is the feeling of disconnection from others, which can occur even in a crowded room. Many retirees experience this profound sense of isolation as they transition from a bustling work life to a quieter retirement. Recognizing that this feeling is common can provide comfort, but the key lies in actively seeking connections that nurture our spirits and enrich our lives.
