I agree with your post and the comments made .
So many people are in the grips of loneliness even with all the communication going on . The personnel close relationships where we used to do thing with each other are being taken over with text and other forms of communication . I don't know what can be done but fear that it will only get worse . Unless we make a huge effort to

befriend loneliness and transform those feelings of dispair into new hope,

It seem like every month or so I know someone who has a family member or knows someone who took their own life . This past week I helped my brother where his wife's sister died at age 26 leaving a 3 year old daughter .
I don't have the words for this except it hits my heart
