There are many, many ways that we experience loneliness, whether we are alone or with people. Loneliness can show up disguised as or in collusion with other emotions. And loneliness can be hard to name and process, share about and heal. What helps you tend to and care for the lonely places in your heart?

 | Throughout the pandemic, I have posted messages on my Facebook wall that I needed to hear myself or that I imagined others may be needing to hear. Again and again, these messages spurred collective online processing of a range of challenges and lows and bright spots of living through the pandemic. This series of cartoons is intended to reflect on and illustrate some of the process of dealing with life by leaning into the intersection of technology and community. |

A comment responds: "And it can happen no matter how wonderful you are, your life is, or your family and friendships are." Anna responds with a gif that reads: "FUR SURE." Three more comments read: "Yes. And yes," "True that," and "Yes."]
