Ill Health, Death and Loneliness: Mankind’s Companions
Abstract
In this paper we review the concept of loneliness, and research that relates it to illness and death, two conditions that we all will undergo at some point in our life, and which are replete with loneliness, a sense of isolation, and a deep yearning not only for health and life, but for a meaningful connection with loved ones and carers.
Keywords: Loneliness, hospitalization, illness, death, palliative care.
