Loneliness: ‘It’s very hard to feel truly connected’

This week, Woman’s Hour had an entire programme devoted to Loneliness, where we asked: is loneliness the last taboo?

We were inundated with personal stories via email, Instagram and Twitter and heard from mothers, students and retirees alike who were experiencing loneliness.

Here Nat and Sarah, two married mothers, discuss why they feel lonely despite often being surrounded by people.
