Sometimes you can get distracted (for years) and cut yourself off from the world.
This can be because of adventure Travel, creating a business, or focusing all your energy on one person and then having that relationship fall apart.
I moved cities to be better positioned for my Startup. Ignored all friends and family for 4 years, and ultimately the company failed and I felt very similar to this woman.
The prison system is developing "re-emergence" programs to help inmates reintegrate with the world after being isolated for 20 years. If they can come back to happy lives, anyone can.
But I think there should be more books/classes and programs focused on integrating back with your own life after a period of isolation.
