“I told Siri I was lonely, and she apologized. So that was nice.” But when it comes to caregivers and friendship, we all need better than ‘nice.’

Let me be glad about how I have shown
my resilience
at coping in ways I’d not known.

I'm learning about loneliness in this new chapter. And many weeks, as I consider my situation, I actually apply what I'm learning!

Confronted with the loneliness of some caregivers I know, I’m so grateful for those who faithfully reach out to my wife and me.

My friend gave me a word better than “lonely” to describe what both of us are feeling.

“The evenings are long, and I can feel so lonely.” I realize I share his experience, but for a completely different reason.
