About 20% of American adults are grappling with " daily loneliness," according to a recent Gallup report.

The U.S. Surgeon General , often referred to as the "Nation's Doctor," declared that we are currently facing a loneliness epidemic.

Professional cuddlers like Jasmine Siemon are leading the way to help people dealing with intimacy, anxiety and loneliness.

London 's New Ground Estate is the first co-housing community dedicated to women aged 50 and over.

Some have likened it to a real-life version of "The Golden Girls ," the TV show that followed four older women living together in Miami .

Experts say loneliness does not discriminate, and could happen to anyone at any age.
