Loneliness

Loneliness is one of the greatest human problems - I've grappled with it for much of my life and in many ways still do. The purpose of this article is to unwrap the issue a little, and share something of what I have learnt in my own life and, of course, through others. I'm very hesitant about sharing on this subject, because I'm only too aware that much of what I write could be seen as the 'right Christian thing' to say. I don't want to sound trite or simplistic, so please bear with me in this area. I haven't all the answers to the problem, but I think I'm beginning to understand and even experience ways in which the agonising pain of loneliness can be overcome. I believe that at last I am beginning to glimpse something of the real issues involved, rather than those that often appear more
