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.

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.

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.
