We go through a breakup, we move to a new place, we suffer a loss. This type of loneliness is called situational loneliness. It stinks, but it can be dealt with. However, if left untreated, situational loneliness can fester and grow into chronic loneliness and depression, which have much more serious consequences.

The Lonely Company was founded to help the lonely get by. The Loneliness Starter Packs are designed to bring a little joy to lonely hearts, along with some coping strategies. The Loneliness Starter Packs won't cure loneliness -- as the name suggests, they’re only a start. But sometimes starting is the hardest part.

Since being lonely is a natural part of being human, The Lonely Company aims to help those suffering from recent loneliness using fun and easy-to-use solutions.  The hope is that the company can pop up in their lives when they need it.  And once they have moved forward in life and gotten past their loneliness, if they ever see someone who is lonely than can gift them with a loneliness starter pack, to help build a cycle of healing and acknowledgement in the community.
