Connected Again

Loneliness in later life is not simply being alone — it is a gap between the connection one has and the connection one needs, and it can persist even in a full house. For many older adults, the routes back to belonging are not obvious, and the first steps can feel disproportionately difficult. Those who have found those routes describe them here with care.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe the experience of isolation and the paths back from it: the loss of a spouse or friend group, the departure of familiar community, and what eventually helped — new routines, volunteer work, technology, intergenerational connection, or simply one persistent relationship. Some accounts are written by the older adults themselves; others by family members who witnessed the change.

Who it's for

For older adults experiencing loneliness and looking for ways through it, the adult children who sense the isolation from a distance, and anyone thinking about what connection might look like in a later chapter of life.
