Just yesterday we heard on TV how older men find themselves very lonely after losing their wives. This can lead to depression and of course to a lowering of the Immune System as emotions play a large part in how the body reacts. It can't be stressed enough to get older people out of their homes and into the Community to avoid the pitfalls of loneliness.
There are many organisations out there that offer companionship, at least during the day and doing Charity work can also help alleviate the loneliness. The Ramblers Association also offers activities and the website, Meet-up.com is a wonderful place to make friends.
