My mom says she feels lonely — forgotten — locked away from the world.
And yet, she chooses not to leave her room. Not for meals. Not for activities. Not even when we offer to go with her.

In this episode, I talk about the complicated reality of loving someone who is safe, cared for, and still deeply isolated — and how some patterns of loneliness don’t begin with illness, but quietly precede it.

This is a conversation about ambiguous grief, boundaries, and the hard truth that we can’t want connection more than someone else is willing to accept it.
