Many people feel lonely, many people feel depressed and we recognize that in this country as a well established fact. In fact, to meet this need amongst people, in many big cities there are support groups and there are hot lines and all kinds of things going on to support people during this time period. So again, we recognize this as a well established fact in our communities. However, we don't recognize, neither do we talk about, that there are some children and that there are some young people who feel this way all the time. Hadassah had neither father nor mother.
Some children feel alone because they have no parents.
Momma is dead and daddy is dead. For the sake of reality, I want to stretch the definition of dead. Not accessible - dead. Not visible - dead. No parenting - dead.
