Do you feel lonely?
According to a Beaumont report, 63% of adults aged 52 or over who have been widowed, and 51% of the same group who are separated or divorced report feeling lonely some of the time or often.
Aside from the emotional impact, research indicates that loneliness and social isolation can lead to poor health. In fact, it is as much a risk factor for death as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. (source: http://www.campaigntoendloneliness.org/loneliness-research/)
