Caregivers and loved ones play a crucial role in mitigating loneliness:
1. Active Listening: Being present and listening without judgment can make a significant difference. 2. Encouraging Social Interaction: Helping the patient stay connected with their social circles or engaging in activities they enjoy can combat feelings of isolation. 3. Assistance with Daily Activities: Offering help with daily tasks can reduce the physical burden on the patient, making it easier for them to participate in social activities.
