The Reverend Dan Wilford discussed loneliness when he presented a program at the recent meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club.
Wilford, a retired mental health professional, said loneliness has become more prevalent since the coronavirus pandemic noting more and more people are experiencing feelings of isolation, depression, and other related symptoms. He explained it’s important for people to feel like they are loved and needed, noting that being together is a way to combat being lonely.
Laughter is important, Wilford said, to help the body be stronger and aid in fighting disease. He challenged rotary club members to work on alleviating loneliness and isolation by connecting with others – adding that “positivity will keep you going.”
