First of all, as children, we should often go home to visit the elderly. Just like a song "Go home and have a look", the old people don't want their children to make much contribution to the family, but only want the family to be round and round. It is not easy for parents to raise their children. Today's children have grown up and have their own small families, but they can't forget their parents. When parents are old, I hope that their children can often go home to see themselves and enjoy the happiness of their children and grandchildren around their knees, which can alleviate their loneliness of living alone.
Secondly, elderly people living alone should go outdoors more, especially chatting with people of similar age. In rural areas, we often see several old people get together to chat, which is actually the best way to relieve loneliness. Because a person is at home, no one talks to you, no one chats with you, and going out to the street with many people of the same age, even talking about what they eat every day or their own experiences will make the old people feel a kind of fireworks and give them an object to talk to.
Thirdly, the elderly can also take part in some meaningful activities, such as dancing in the square dance, or taking a walk with several people, especially in rural areas, where they can order food, plant some flowers, or go for a walk in the fields. Can play a role in pleasing the body and mind, but also can pass the lonely and helpless time, so that their later life becomes more colorful.
