My sister is a year younger than me and when I started school she was lonely during the days so she made up a friend ‘Mrs. Brown’ and was apparently quite content spending her days with this lady. I am borrowing a page from my sister’s brain and will create pretend visitors throughout my home alone isolation time. My sister is quite sane today (well she was then too) and is a leader in the mental health world so I believe it’s a good strategy.
