Modern life can be lonely. Moreover, modern life can make it feel as if you are the only one who is lonely. Across all of society people are becoming more isolated from one another, spending much of their social life on the internet. The diversity of our experience of loneliness is erased by the glamour and noise of Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. In I Am With You Always Siobhán O'Keeffe reminds us that we are never alone. Our relationship with God is a tether that holds to us through periods of loneliness in our lives and which links us to millions of other people –whether new mother, bullied child, conflicted soldier or overworked surgeon — whose experience and struggle with loneliness is similar. I Am With You Always includes a guide to loneliness in Scripture and a series of reflections on how loneliness is experienced across contemporary society.
