Of course. Thank you so much for reading me and I hope your situation improves.

Look, my mother is disabled. And for 10 years that I have been taking care of her I have noticed the social rejection she has suffered from her family, friends, even impatient people in the street.

The following worked for me.

We started going to a neighborhood coffee shop for breakfast instead of Starbucks.

They served us well there.

Then we started going to neighborhood grocery stores-butcher, greengrocer, stationery store-instead of the supermarket.

My idea was that my mother, through contact with the local vendors, would feel less lonely. Since the salespeople obviously treat you well so that you will be a repeat customer.

But, something magical happened.

My mother started to make jokes with the people in the stores. And the rest of the customers saw it.

Many people in the same situation as my mother started to approach her.

I think to find out what was the secret of her good humor, despite her situation.

And so, little by little, she became part of a group of people in the neighborhood.

I hope this little piece of advice helps you in some way, my friend.
