Senior Living: Find socializing hard? Try these tips (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Loneliness has been described as âwhen one door is closed, but the âother oneâ has yet to open,â or âan âinner wormâ that gnaws at the heartâ â and it can appear at any time.

Senior Living: Create a box of memories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What can I say? Too many friends have recently died. They are gone, and yet, I can still see their faces, hear their stories and advice â often repeated. And I regret I didnât spend more time with them; I was too busy, and werenât they always going to be there, offering me something to drink and sharing their favorite jokes?
