One of mine is the same and what helped her was allowing her to listen to stories on my old phone....youtube has tonnes. There are also audio books....or music. Mine liked to listen to Christmas carols! It's loneliness I think. Any chance of getting her a pet? Even a goldfish in an illuminated tank which she could see. Or a gerbil or something.
