A Lonely Plea: ‘Anybody Need a Grandma for Christmas?’
Shout out to religion here. Everyone in my faith is assigned one or two people to &quot;minister&quot; to and everyone also has someone ministering to them. Instant friends. And no need for the elderly to be completely alone and have to turn to craigslist. I can&#x27;t imagine this need going unfilled in the structure of my local church community.<p>Obviously with the decline of religion, this situation will only become more common. People need a built in community structure, and nothing has stepped up to replace church yet. I don&#x27;t think r&#x2F;atheism is going to fill that void anytime soon.
