So I'll give you another example that I've used for decades because you know, it was it was one of the most humbling experiences.
I think, well, early on is that, you know, someone had read, you know, in the chronicle when
paper was first published and they said, you know, Dr.
Fedicinotto, you know, I'm I'm I'm lonely, but maybe not like you think I am or or um you know in the traditional way.
And I said, well tell me more.
And she says, Well, I used to work in retail and I really miss it.
So
That would not have been in my toolbox to tell her to go get a job at the gap, you know?
But um, but actually what we did for her is that she started volunteering at Salvation Army in the retail store.
Like that was her solution.
Now, so that means that as a clinician or as someone working with older people or whoever it may be, it's once you find out that there may be some loneliness, it's like, okay, well, do you want to do something about it?
And do you have any insight as to why this may be and what may help?
And then you think about are there interventions that have evidence?
If there are, you go for them.
And when there's not evidence, you pick the next base thing is based on interest and what you think the method the etiology is is matching to what the problem is.
I feel like I say this at uh nauseum, but we are so ageist and and so you know, I think what's really
Sad.
I have mixed feelings about this because the pandemic has really made isolation and loneliness front and center to many people.
And so suddenly it's like, oh my goodness, there are actually old people in the world and there are people that are lonely because suddenly I'm 43 and experiencing it for the first time.
And suddenly I have this awareness that it's going on.
