Summary:

There are three universal experiences that we cannot escape: loneliness, illness, and death. This title addresses what was termed the plague of the 21st century - loneliness. Loneliness is stigmatized in our society, so untold number of people walk around lonely, unable to do what is so naturally called for - make their suffering known, and approach others for company and support. Thankfully, loneliness is slowly, but steadily, coming out of the 'closet.' This book will highlight not only the experience and what can be done about it, but also the experiences that influence it (i.e., our childhood, cultural and religious influences, and our way of life) as well as the effects that loneliness has on various population groups and how it is experienced at different times in our lives.
