There were many old people in the village who lived alone and had no one else. We went to their house one by one, buying chocolate and candy. They were very happy. They still had fears and concerns about the earthquake. These feelings were talked about. Apart from that, they talked about loneliness and old age. The aim was to reduce their concerns and fears about the earthquake on this difficult day. They wanted to provide social support to them. In total, three different people's homes were visited. And although the duration of these visits varied, they generally sat for 1 hour. They shared the feelings that accumulated inside them because they were alone.
