Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation.

I don't think there is a cure for loneliness or being alone. It's a fundamental quality of human existence. We are all single, alone, in our own minds no matter who we're with or how intimate we are with them.

Things may be different on the other side but on this side you have to learn to cope with it. Embrace solitude. Sometimes being alone can become a festering wound - apply a dressing - maybe DS helps.

The Jan 2018 Scientific American has a scholarly article on loneliness with suggested further readings. I intend to follow that path and post ideas that are helping me overcome loneliness.
