So visible yet so ignored :(

What do you call it?

  1. When nobody wakes you up in the morning
  2. Nobody waits for you at night?
  3. You can do whatever you want?

Young people might call it freedom ??? but the elderly call it loneliness ???

They are not invisible to us, we see them, we meet them, we greet them and then we just get on with our busy lives

You might feel that you are giving enough time to your parents & grandparents and doing your best to lessen their loneliness, but for them, it isn’t enough?

We are always talking about ourselves, today let’s talk about ways we can make our elderly feel special (it begins with keeping your phone aside) ??

  1. Enjoy a meal together- take them out or order in their favorite meal
  2. Ask them about themselves- what was their life like back then, their dreams, their happiness
  3. Encourage them to love themselves- our elders have never had time for themselves so they’re still unaware of self-care
  4. Join a community- there are many groups for the elderly- library, laughing club, cards
  5. Listen to old songs together- play their favorite songs and ask them to sing along

It’s important to make people in our life feel special- so what are you waiting for- go give your grand/parents a hug or just hang out with them for a bit or give them a head massage or ask them to give you one.?

Remember, everyone just wants to be wanted!
