#Loneliness, being invisible...we feel this, we know this. #Widowshelpingwidows is our power.
When we're lonely, we feel invisible.
One of the most powerful ways to fight it is to help others feel seen.
The conversation doesn't have to be long. Even 1 minute of interaction can be enough to create a sense of connection.

Saying thanks is nice. Providing assistance is better.
I’m working with NY's Congressional delegation to create a "COVID-19 Heroes Compensation Fund" to support frontline workers and their families.
Just as Congress did after 9/11, we need to support our heroes once again.
As #widows, we can relate. Take Steps to Counter the #Loneliness of #Social Distancing nyti.ms/2wxnVRD
