Listen "Table for one"
Episode Synopsis
When the pace of life slows and the noise of ambition quells, we begin to notice the difference between loneliness and solitude. Loneliness is the ache of absence—the empty chair, the silence when we long for familiar voices.Solitude, on the other hand, is the comfort of our own company—the gentle pause after a busy life, where memories breathe and small joys shine. In this episode of The Ageing Ideal, Jacinta Parsons speaks with Dr. Anita Goh to distinguish between the experience of loneliness versus solitude and also author and columnist for the Sunday Life Magazine Kerri Sackville about ways to embrace solitude. Jacinta also visits the Strathmore Mens Shed and chats to elders about how to prepare for being alone and support others who are.
