Join a Senior Activities Center or move near one if necessary. Ours has a pool, excellent exercise equipment, a library, craft/painting rooms, gym/exercise rooms, ping pong pickleball courts, and pool tables, and serves lunch. Medicare supplement insurance pays for it. Very well attended where you can make friends and socialize as much or as little as you like. You can volunteer there too.

It truly is. Also, if you have lost your partner, husband, wife. Many of those friends drop you, I do understand, many feel uncomfortable not having the other present as before. If they were capable of realizing how hard it is for the one that’s left. They never know when their time is next.

Since my dad died unexpectedly 2 years ago, i now am my 94 year old grandma's main caregiver/bff. About a week after dad's funeral, i started realizing she was basically alone all day everyday and grieving too so i started just showing up most days. We grieved together and i took over taking care of her like dad did. She gave me a purpose when i needed one most. Heading there in an hour or so to help cook supper. Hot dogs tonight. Saturday night is my night to stay over and Sundays we cook Sunday dinner and i clean and do laundry. Yes it's hard work but she's worth it..

At 65 I know what caring for the elderly is like. I served my grandparents and then my mother. I don't understand this culture now. I rely on God for strength, endurance, and life in general.

I am 73 yrs old. I never married, I have no children, no grand-children. I have 3 siblings that never call me. When we spoke it is because I called them. I came from a very dysfunctional narcissistic family. (I am the scapegoat.) I cannot begin to tell you how seriously painful loneliness is. I go days without seeing or speaking to a human being. I live in Utah, I am a Mormon. Everything evolves around family. Individuals like me have no place or value in my religion. Sometimes I worry that in my younger days I was just as selfish. Maybe now I am living my payback.

Loneliness is a killer, there is no excuse if you have an aging family member to spend time with them, because just remember this, one day it's going to be you!

We’re living in a changing time. I’m the only child. When I was there years old, I had seizures my parents and I were very close. I had three cousins that lived next door to me. We played together. And when I was home I just played to myself. I was very active in the church. After my dad passed away in 1983 it was just me and my mother. I got married the same year my dad passed. My wife and I had two children a girl and a boy. My daughter went to college and my son was home with me. My wife and I got divorced and I had custody of the children. After my son left it was just me and my mother. She had a stroke and everything fell on me to do. I done all the cooking, cleaning etc. I changed and dressed my mother washed her everything. She passed in 2011 at the age of 90. In 2019 I. Fell and broke my right hip. Had hip surgery and now I can walk around. I stayed with my cousin while I was getting better. Then my daughter came one day and told me she and her husband were buying a house and I was going to live with them. Since I’ve been with them I feel left out. They don’t talk to me or anything. I’m all to myself. I talk to myself I feel no one cares about me. All she wants is what I pay for staying with them. I never done my parents like that. I can’t believe it but it’s true.

My MIL lives in an independent senior living center. She is surrounded by several hundred people her age, but does not really want to participate in any social activities. She does go down to all of the meals, so she eats with others every day. But very little beyond that. And complains so much about being lonely. This loneliness epidemic is more than just not having people around. We also have a crisis of antisocial people in our country.

@pattyhansen7563 10 күн бұрын

you are very correct. One thing I learned, too, doing elder care is that elderly people AVOID asking their kids for help for various reasons. 1. they assume their kids are too busy 2. Their kids don't offer/provide the type of help they really need so it turns out to be Unhelpful 3. they are worried that if they show they NEED help their kids will pack them off to the old folks home (which lets face it is very common) 4. they are resistant to the help that would keep them in their own homes. I have a great aunt, widowed, did not want to live WITH any of 3 kids, didn't want someone coming in to help her or live with her (they had an agency for a while - she would refuse the girl entry), would not let repairs/renos be done to her house to make it handicap accessible so boom they put her in a nursing home. What can you do for a person like this? She was passing out, not eating, not getting out to shop, refusing to entertain company, etc...Now that she is in a nursing; same business. will not leave her room, won't talk to anyone, won't participate in any of the fun events, won't go on shopping trips or out to lunch. She literally puts paper towels under her Keds onto of her bed & lays there all day "waiting til dinner" or she'll tell me that she is "killing time". I told her, "you're killin' it alright" Meanwhile she is 94, still ambulatory, got her wits about her mostly, no medication, no help problems (once they figured out the passing out thing) & she could be there helping others. Many elderly people actually are selfish in some ways. If you don't want to change, you can't be mad if you don't have a stimulating social experience into your elder years. very sad.

I imagine there are local church pantries that would be willing to help him as well. The problem is getting those willing to help together with those who need help. An app is a nice start, but realize that many elderly people don’t have smart phones nor could afford the cost of upkeep. The best thing someone could do for those like him in need would be to send out mailers a few times a yr. That list resources and phone numbers to reach them. There are often free home health services who will do shopping for people as well as help them clean etc.

Loneliness and depression is often thought of as a normal process of aging when it really isn't. Life's definitely better when you can share your experiences and challenges with someone. Researches have also shown that great social relationships have fewer negative experiences. Although meeting up in person have been challenging recently due to the global pandemic, hanging out with your friends can now be done virtually just like we do in Reviving Mind's programs.

I did in home elder care (informal, non medical) for several years while my kids were little. It was job that I could bring my toddler along with me while doing. the older people I looked after LOVED that. They missed seeing & interacting with little kids (& my kids were very, very well behaved & also loved the attention). With several of them, I was often the ONLY human being they saw all week long. And they had MANY kids. My one great uncle had 8 kids & other than on Sunday (when 1 would take him to mass) the house was empty all week long. I used to bring cookie dough to bake there with my kids & we would decorate for the holidays just to make his house seem more like a home. All the situations, but one, were sad. I would be there while they would call their kids to ask for help & the one daughter would say, "get the gal who cleans for you to do it" & hung up on her. Then they came to her funeral & cried like babies - wailing & making a big scene. I was disgusted. These folks would often talk about how lonely they were, but excuse their kids for being too busy.

The thing today is young ones alone are suffering too. Just from comments I have read online on threads. Admittedly a lot of elderly can't use the internet which would make them bored and lonely. It's stress too with most. It's very hard when those say 70 plus have friends or family die. Health is so important but many deteriorate. It's so vital to repent of sin (all humans) and commit to Jesus (not religions) for life on earth and eternal life and walk with Him daily. I'm an oldie now and life is uncertain for oldies. We are the final generation now though. For people who have a big enough home with a spare room they should take in an elderly person (not for money but to be kind). It could give an oldie a new lease on life (concerning loneliness) and perhaps rescue of a homeless person. In a place in England they have a buddy system where people match up with an older person to talk each week or play a board game which is a good idea. They visit the elderly person.

@France Richard: I’m not TELLING YOU TO GET OVER ANYTHING. I had a temporary lapse in sanity by saying something positive which is like believing in a fairytale. Thanks for reminding what a cesspool this planet is. If an asteroid hit it tomorrow and destroyed everything and everyone on it I couldn’t care less. Human beings have been a failed experiment since the dawn of man. Sorry about your brothers.

Do you seriously think you’re the only person in the world who has suffered? I could write a book but I also know how many people are struggling. All ages, all backgrounds. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get a life. I’ve lived through hell and have chronic pain on top of it and I’m still taking care of my 88 year old malignant narcissist mother. But that’s the world. I’m deeply blessed. I have a place to live, food on the table and good medical care. My brutally abused Pit Bull I adopted from the shelter keeps my loneliness at bay. When she dies my heart will break then I’ll pull myself together and get another suffering dog. Life isn’t all about you. SMH.@@francerichard801

It's easy to become active in a local church.

It’s hard when you have serious health problems! I was very active in church. I taught Sunday School, taught Children’s Church, played piano for church and was a soloists. Now I’m old and am no longer able to continue doing it. It was time to make way for the younger generation.

Instead of coming up with more ways to help out seniors this country ignores elders and as for doctors, well all they want to do is keep dolling out meds particularly antidepressants so they don't complain about being alone. People just don't care about elders anymore.

Teenage sons and daughters should not be forced into eldercare. Adult sons and daughters have their own lives to live and possibly their own kids to take care of.

Hi, May I share the most important news you will ever hear in your whole life? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?
