For older people, making friends combats loneliness and improves quality of life
Making friends can be difficult at any age, but in retirement it can pose additional challenges because it can be lacking in the built-in social life that existed in school or during the working years — or even as a parent of young children.
“When was the last time you made a new friend?” said Robert Laura, founder of the Retirement Coaches Association. “It can be hard.” “Those conditions in college or school rarely ever are replicated. Past the age of 25, the most important friend-making stage is over,” Hall said. For older adults, there may be a meaningful loss —such as the death of a spouse — as well as an increased risk of loneliness. And loneliness is not easy to fix. Loneliness and depression often go hand-in-hand, Hall said.
