Social Networking Website Offers New Hope in 2022 for Those Who Have Lost Loved Ones During the Pandemic
Over 800,000 Americans have lost their lives to the pandemic. One innovative website offers a way to ease the pain and loneliness, connecting survivors with "Family Figures" to rebuild those key relationships that are missing in their lives.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As a particularly difficult and lonely holiday season comes to an end during the latest wave of COVID-19, a pervasive problem has come to the forefront once again. Even before the pandemic, a survey showed that 1 in 5 adults in the United States "often or always feels lonely, feels a lack of companionship, feels left out, or feels isolated from others." This problem has only multiplied due to the tragic loss of so many lives in the past few years.
In a recent article published in Public Health Reports, the Surgeon General says "The consequences of social isolation and loneliness can be serious and even life-threatening." He adds that "People experiencing social isolation also reported feeling frustrated, stressed, anxious, tired, or sad."
