Are you a lady over 50 who is feeling lonely?

Loneliness is more common than many of us realize, especially for women who may have seen friends move away, experienced life changes such as children leaving home, or found it difficult to maintain old friendships.

In fact, research shows that women in their 50s and beyond are at an increased risk of feeling socially isolated.

According to the Office for National Statistics, 24% of women are likely to feel lonely at some point in their life.

What can be the cause of loneliness in women over 50?

There are many reasons for women over 50 to feel lonely. Let's explore some now. This is by no means a complete list, and every woman will have a their own very personal and valid reason or reasons for feeling lonely.

Loss of a partner
Children leaving home resulting in Empty Nest Syndrome
Retirement from Working Life
Health Issues
Shrinking of Social Network
Financial Challenges
Changes in Physical appearance affecting Confidence
Divorce or Seperation from Partner

We know and recognise that loneliness cannot be combated over night, however we also

know that taking the right action will provide a positive change in feelings and attitude

towards helping to alleviate loneliness.
