New Article in Health Policy: »Experiences and social constructions of loneliness in later life: Collaborative focus group discussions in Germany«
Graphical abstract of the articleWhile Aging in Place – the possibility to grow old in one’s own home – is a wide-spread ideal for many people, it comes with an increased risk of loneliness in later life. In a study spearheaded by my PhD student Andrea Kastl and co-authored together with Ulrike Fettke, we empirically explored the perspectives and practices of dealing with loneliness as voiced by older people who want to age in place. The study entitled “Experiences and social constructions of loneliness in later life: Collaborative focus group discussions in Germany” has now been published in the journal Health Policy. Our main conclusions based upon collaborative focus group discussions:
Assessing loneliness requires taking individual perspectives into account, as mere quantification of social contacts is insufficient for evaluation or intervention design. To help cope with loneliness, health professionals are an important social interface and can become a substitute for close relationships. This should be reflected in professional roles and in developing complementary technologies and policies.
The article is available open access over at Health Policy.

CW: sex work & trafficking
if you know me you know I'm hyper-fixated on modern, post-social-media, post-COVID loneliness. that interest has had me crossing paths with sex workers or former sex workers and it's always interesting to hear their stories. this video is a good example of that, this lady was trafficked sadly but she talks about how complicated people, men and women are, and it took real courage to make this video.

While accepting that South Korean culture isn't the same as English reserve, this sounds like a model for Britain's increasingly lonely society.

Reading fiction fights loneliness and builds a healthier brain https://share.google/nRAnqtD3Y1PmWQjq0

Finding true inner #strength will also put you in #lonliness as the truly strong do not have #time for those who would manipulate or use them.
You will find that people in your #life were not truly there for you, but for their own comfort and convenience.
You were a tool, and strength absolutely terrifies the weak as you're a mirror to their own darkness, and can't be used.
You will lose people and be rejected.
But they were never the ones who mattered anyway.

Wow. This article about the housing crisis in Australia is so more nuanced then the main stream media waffle.

Lonliness can be a lingering fact of life for some of us.
Your presentation might make you stand out in every place you enter. Or, perhaps you blend in so well that you're invisible. Either situation is a recipe for isolation.
But you're not alone in the world (even though it feels like it). There are other nonbinary people who share a large part of your experience, and friendships can form in the most surprising of places.
You'll find your people.

This articulates my exact feelings about San Francisco, the tech industry, & the entire social crisis of Capitalism we are all facing. Ms. Solnit writes with fierce precision & grace, connecting the dots with damning evidence rather than hyperbole.
Essential reading.

LIVING LIFE ALONE
We come into this world alone and we leave this world alone. In my elder years I am increasingly alone and lonely. Looking for any reading that will help me live fruitfully with that reality. Recommendations, please. Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope you and yours are safe and well. Kind regards. David.
