y Victor Parachin<br />

As a social worker who directs a shelter for abused<br />

women, I’m fulfilled with my work and contribution<br />

to the lives of others. Yet, even though I’m very busy,<br />

I don’t feel connected. I feel lonely.”<br />

—Tricia, 37 years of age<br />

“My dad died two years ago when I was 15. My life<br />

hasn’t been easy since then. I have some good days<br />

and many bad ones. Mostly, I feel lonely because<br />

most people just don’t understand.”<br />

—Will, 17 years of age
