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
