Combating Loneliness Why the elderly can go downhill, after the loss of their partner independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/why-the-elderly-can-go-downhill-after-the-loss-of-their-partner-9722041.html Bereavement can have a devastating impact on the immune systems of older people and may explain why many elderly spouses die soon after the loss of their loved ones, scientists have said. A study has found that a key component of the immune defences that protect the body against lethal infections is weakened in the period of grief when someone loses a person very close to them. Contact the Elderlys latest research showed that 22% of our older guests joined a Contact the Elderly group following a bereavement. And as a result of joining a group, 80% of our guests feel happier and less lonely. If you know of anyone who would benefit from our free monthly Sunday afternoon tea parties. Please do get in touch.
