In all fairness, I’m from the community based societies of Southern Africa! This is not to say loneliness and sadness do not drive others there into self medics!

Although, our social net mean we have extended family, and friendship that feel like family to see us through life’s challenges.

Of course, we can’t go to marry in fear of winding up alone. Instead, being happy and healthy while involved in marriage or however is the hope of many in our age bracket .
