This booklet is an excellent resource for coping and understanding the experience of isolation. It offers a wealth of suggestions and provides material for thought, reflection, and meditation. It gives advice ranging from putting aside time to rest and eating and sleeping well, to using the phone and the internet to reach those who may be struggling on their own. Making a list of all the good things – and people – that you miss when you are on your own and thanking God for them, can be a way of helping cope with loneliness, the guide says.  -- a resource from the Church of England
