Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking blog.
I have experienced loneliness myself and it's one reason I set up the Sutton Park Walk & Talk group for the local community. Nobody ever knows who is experiencing loneliness so I think any opportunity to ask the question is a really positive step.

Something that always stays with me from training, 20yrs on is-

"if you leave someone feeling a bit more valued, a bit more heard, a bit more hopeful, if you uphold a person's dignity- then it's time well spent."

This is foundational. Even in the most complex situations, this simple guide applies.
