Solitude--Jean Jacques Henner
A new website—AlonelyWorld.com--designed by a crisis counselor named Richard in Tucson, was created to “be a destination for healing, sharing, and caring,” born from his “realization of the critical need to bring health and wellness to A Lonely World.”
Origins of ALonelyWorld.com
Richard B., who thus far has concealed his identity, has seen much loneliness and depression during his more than 20 years as a counselor. He has a wealth of experience in the areas of social isolation, suicide prevention, and crisis management.
Given the power and accessibility of the Internet, he decided to create a website for people “who want to share in the human experience of loneliness and beyond.” It is his hope that the website “can be a destination for healing, sharing, and caring for all who seek a higher purpose and path to personal fulfillment, enlightenment, and longevity.”
