Read the letter and give response to Dying of Loneliness by July 19,2009 midnight.
Dear Abby: My husband is dead, and I am all alone in the world. Loneliness is like a cancer, only it’s worse. It doesn’t kill you, it just gnaws at the mind until concentration and constructive
Thinking are permanently crippled.
When my husband was living, we visited lonely people and often took them for rides, to the movies, and out for a meal. But now that I am alone, no one visits me or offers to take me anywhere. Married people don’t care. They have each other. Sundays are endless.
I me treated worse than a criminal. Perhaps if I were a criminal, some saintly person from a church group would call on me and try to save my “soul.”
I used to attend church. But the church pays no attention to my loneliness. I am not rich, neither am I poor. I am not beautiful, nor am I ugly. I’m too old to work and l’m not beautiful, nor am I ugly. I’m too old to work and l’m too young to die.
I know there is no solution to my loneliness, but I had to to
tell somebody.
