Comments on: Good morning, America! http://www.lonelythebook.com/2010/03/good-morning-america/ A memoir by Emily White Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:43:04 +0000 hourly 1 By: Edna http://www.lonelythebook.com/2010/03/good-morning-america/comment-page-1/#comment-215 Edna Sun, 11 Apr 2010 20:44:19 +0000 http://www.lonelythebook.com/?p=416#comment-215 It was 4 years ago I first read an article in Oprah's magazine about loneliness that was a glimpse of what I experience. Since then I've read John Cacioppo's book, which was insightful, but written more from a medical or academic standpoint. I longed for someone to write about loneliness in laymen's terms, to make it more personal, yet provide the research and resources that reveals this condition as real and set apart from depression. You've done exactly that! Thank you for your book--for putting into words what I have felt since my teens. I inherited loneliness from my mother, who also suffered from depression. But it was clear to me (perhaps only to me) that her depression and stages of loneliness were different. I'm sure she prayed on many occasions that if her children were to suffer from what she did, they they would find the support that she didn't. The book is an answer to prayer. Again. Thank you.

Even when I am in a room with people I know I still feel alone. It like I am there but not there. I have never told anyone this, until now. I truly understand what lonely is.
