This is amazing. I can speak from experience that loneliness can eat you alive. People always mention the side-effects, but suffering from loneliness itself may be the worst part of it all, maybe because it can last for years or decades.

It's really admirable that she still has the will to help people at 95 years old.

P.S: if there is any english mistake, it's not my first language.

What a fucking rollercoaster I just went through. I confused Dr Ruth with Canadian sex therapy royalty Sue Johanson and was so happy to hear she was still alive, then when I realized my error I looked up Sue and saw she died earlier this year, now my heart is broken but I'm happy for Dr Ruth.
