#Loneliness, being invisible...we feel this, we know this. #Widowshelpingwidows is our power.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When we're lonely, we feel invisible.

One of the most powerful ways to fight it is to help others feel seen.

The conversation doesn't have to be long. Even 1 minute of interaction can be enough to create a sense of connection.

Saying thanks is nice. Providing assistance is better.

I’m working with NY's Congressional delegation to create a "COVID-19 Heroes Compensation Fund" to support frontline workers and their families.

Just as Congress did after 9/11, we need to support our heroes once again.
