SUMMARY - Seniors Mental Health Services
An eighty-three-year-old woman sits alone in her apartment, the hours stretching empty before her. Her husband died two years ago. Her children live far away and visit rarely. Her friends have died or moved to care facilities she cannot afford. She is lonely in ways she cannot describe, a hollowness that started as grief and has become something more, something that makes getting out of bed seem pointless and meals not worth making.
