Sara Troy with Saras View of Life, aired from November 10th-on.
Loneliness is a silent killer. Being forgotten, ignored, or simply unseen does real harm — not only to our seniors, but also to our homeless community members and those in major life transitions. When someone has shared a life with a partner and that person is suddenly gone, it leaves a space no one else can fill. What they often long for most is simple, daily human interaction.
Loneliness is a complex and deeply personal experience. It isn’t just being physically alone — it’s feeling emotionally disconnected, misunderstood, or invisible, even in a crowd. It may emerge from grief, from a move to a new place, from aging, or from the struggle to build meaningful relationships. For some, loneliness passes quickly. But for others, it lingers and weighs heavily, affecting both mental and physical wellbeing. At the same time, loneliness can invite reflection — a chance to understand our needs more clearly and to grow from within.
I may be social and interactive, yet I know loneliness too. I know what it feels like to wonder if anyone cares whether you live or die. That’s why we must not turn our backs on those who are struggling — whether they are elders or individuals facing hardship.
Instead, let us bridge the generations. Let us allow youth to learn from the wisdom of those who have lived long and full lives — and let elders glimpse the future through the eyes of tomorrow’s leaders. In connection, both are enriched. In community, no one has to feel alone.
Take a look at these videos and be the change they need.
What can be done to bridge that gap between being alone and reaching out to society? Here is one marvelous idea that also bridges the gap between youth and their elders.
Let us not forget anyone this Christmas. Let us not leave anyone alone, PLEASE.
Here are 7 tips to help you protect your aging parents from some of the risks of loneliness.
1. Maintain frequent contact. Even if you’re used to calling Mom or Dad on a monthly basis or less, it’s time to increase the frequency. If they’ve hit a milestone birthday, lost a spouse or other important person, or can’t drive any longer, they need more contact. You don’t need any special reason. Just make it a regular thing and call often. My husband calls his 90-year-old mom, Alice every day. She’s independent and gets out a lot, but she still needs to hear his voice.
2. Visit in person at regular intervals. Not only is it better than a call because you can see what is going on, but it is also best for the senior to see you, get a hug from you or feel the benefit of your physical presence. If distance and time make this a challenge, consider using Skype(TM), or another video to make contact a visible event. If your aging parent is difficult and this is not enjoyable for you, keep it brief, but make it regular.
3. Check out community resources for elders where your parent lives. Most urban and suburban areas have senior centers with good opportunities to connect and make friends. Entertainment and social games such as bingo are offered. If your aging parent was never a “joiner”, you can at least encourage him or her to give it a try. You can accompany your loved one to an event for seniors, arrange transportation or otherwise facilitate the process. Getting started in making connections with some support may turn a shy and lonely elder into a happier one.
4. Take your aging parent to events she may enjoy. Concerts, theater, community festivals, comedy, and other social activities are best enjoyed with company. If your parent has you to go with him, he may have a chance to do things he could never do alone. Start with things your parent has liked in the past, locate some doing your online research and offer to get tickets, and arrange transportation.
5. Ask your aging parent questions about such things as lottery entries and contests. Some elders become quite addicted to entering things like these and can’t tell a legitimate lotto game from a ripoff scheme. If you are available in person, check the mail and the contest entry forms. Look for phony offers of “prizes” or letters saying “you’ve won!”. When there are strings attached, such as having to pay fees to get winnings, it is not legitimate.
6. For distance caregivers, consider hiring a geriatric care manager to check in on your aging parent at regular intervals. You don’t have to have a housebound elder to use a geriatric care manager. These professionals are often nurses or social workers, experienced in matching the elder’s needs to community resources for improved socialization. They can find the activities, work out the logistics and go with the elder in your place if you are far away.
7. Consider teaching your elder to use technology to maintain connections. A computer with a camera is a bridge to anyone in the family. Even an aging parent who has never touched a computer before can learn if willing. Alice learned to use the internet at age 86 to pay her bills. Now, she’s on it every day. If she can’t find something she wants, she uses GoogleGOOG +0.27%. It has opened a world to her. If you’re not good at teaching, perhaps a kind grandchild will do the job or you can get grandma to attend a first timer’s computer class. From our experience, the effort is so worth it

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Duane Stjernholm aired from November 17th on.
Uniting the World’s “Trustworthy,” Positive-Focused Majority Committed to a Co-creating a More Equitable, Peaceful World
To UEE or Not UEE That is the Question: Whether ‘Tis Wiser to Suffer in the Modern World or Take Action Against the Inequities in it.
The Mission of the United Earth Ecclesia is to use the global connective power of the internet to change the prevalent competitive mind-set of the human race to a more sustainable and prosperous Cooperative and Collaborative mind-set. It will do this by utilizing the Co-Creative Power of Poll-itical Networking for Collective Consensus and Collaborative Action.
What would life be like if nearly everyone acted for the Greater Good? If the world’s “trustworthy,” caring and consciously aware people-those who don’t act from selfish motives-got together and welded their power and discernment by majority vote?
How many hours are spent daily on the internet? How are those billions of hours are contributing to the positive evolution of humankind. How can we utilize the internet to Co-Create the Greatest and Highest Good?
The Earth Citizen’s Guide to Co-Creating the Greatest and Highest Good introduces UEE to the world-why it is necessary, what it stands for, the power of Lenergy-the love energy that drives the manifestation of all things, the vision for what UEE is to become, the poll-itical aspects of uniting people globally through majority vote to be a voice of clarity in support of humanity, environmental wellness, and the Common Good on many of today’s issues and political campaigns. UEE members are able to identify each other by the proud wearing of the gold Exclamation of Love Mark (ExLo for short), the Registered Collective Mark of the UEE, symbolized by a heart atop a plus. The Earth Citizen’s Guide is a road map to the future, showing how UEE can lead us forward, raising everyone’s boat. With the book, Starland is beginning the process of enrolling people in the co-creation of this brave new world where love rules!
“As Active United Earth Citizens, We Promise that We will not harm or trespass in any way on the person and property of any other United Earth Citizen. That includes a Promise to uphold the Bonds of Trust that connect all United Earth Citizens who have sworn to this Covenant.
As Loving United Earth Citizens We Promise to Love one another and act toward Others as We would like them to act toward Us.
As Rational United Earth Citizens, We Promise to promote World Peace and protect every United Earth Citizen’s Right to total Individual Freedom as long as that Freedom does not harm the person or property of any other United Earth Citizen.
Finally, As Responsible United Earth Citizens We promise to strive to do everything We possibly can to protect and improve the Ecology of Our Communal Environment.”
Duane D. Stjernholm (Pen Name Dane Starland)was born in La Junta, Colorado, a small town in the southeastern corner of the state. Raised in nearby Cheraw, an even smaller town, he graduated Co-Valedictorian from Cheraw High School and continued his education at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, earning a B.S. Degree in Psychology.
Seeking to explore the world in search of adventure, he joined the Peace Corps and spent two years in the Philippines working in Rice Irrigation Water Management in the Province of Pampanga, and subsequently teaching Introductory Social Sciences at the University of the Philippines at Los Baños, Laguna.
Recovering from “Reverse Culture Shock” upon his return to Colorado, he attended the Iliff School of Theology in Denver earning a Master of Arts in Religion Degree, specializing in Religious Philosophy and Metaphysics.
Soon after graduation from Iliff he was fortunate to attend a live speech by the renown World Citizen and Inventor, R. Buckmaster Fuller, who inspired him on his current 35 year Mission of changing the prevalent mind-set of humanity from competition to cooperation and collaboration in order to Co-Create the Greatest and Highest Good.
Two New Books Inspire People to Join the United Earth Ecclesia (UEE) Movement
Starland’s first book UEES or Not UEES-That is the Question takes you in to a world where UEE membership ensures that you can trust doing business with, dating or interacting with fellow members because they share your values. It presents two nearly identical scenarios-one where Jane, the protagonist, experiences a day without UEE influence-and then the same day where she is supported by, aided and shares experiences with other UEE committed-individuals. This short novel is much like the film Ground Hog Day with a different kind of outcome!
