An important network of loved ones and friends is important to our well-being. A study found that people who had at least 15 people with whom they related in their social network survived and flourished on kidney dialysis. Those with the best physical prognosis who did not have outside resources died within a year. By reaching out we are giving each other the gift of life. Our morale increases. We learn new ways of managing difficulties in life from each other. We enhance our personal feelings of self-esteem and confidence.
