Being alone and being lonely aren't the same thing

Community and family are two of the most universal values in the Pacific, so it's almost impossible to imagine that anyone could feel lonely.  However, people can be surrounded by family and still feel a sense of loneliness, and with so many people moving overseas or to the city for work, not everyone has family around anymore.  So what should you do if you feel lonely, and if it goes on for too long, how serious can it become? Natasha Meten speaks to psychologist Anastasia Tuilagi, Reshmi Singh from Empower Pacific Counselling & Social Services and Reverend Sonja Hunter from All Saints Anglican Church.
