Meet Lorie, the final storyteller of season 2 for the I Know Lonely Project. When her story took a different direction than she expected, Lorie found herself alone at the darkest point in her life. A friend reaching out with a simple message during a moment of crisis ended up changing the trajectory for her. She also shares about the loneliness in being “the strong friend” and how she’s discovered the safety of relationships with people who do care.

Her hope is that her story will give others hope that there is light even when you can’t see it.

This is her story.
