IHBL Podcast 002: Shocking Death Reveals Loneliness   When a body is found in downtown Omaha a story unfolds about a man who spent most of his time drunk and alone. His family had not seen him for years but were neither surprised nor saddened by his demise. He left no possessions, not even a wallet as it had been stolen a few weeks earlier. There was no service at the funeral home, and no committal ceremony at the graveyard. No one came to say farewell. He died as he had lived most of his life, alone. Dr. Ross tells the story and then elaborates on the pain and the constant heartache caused by loneliness. He also tells about a time he felt alone in an empty hospital emergency room cubicle awaiting his wife’s return from her MRI. The podcast is less than 10 minutes long.
