One is to find a qualified partner. It is normal for the elderly to remarry in modern society. It is a good choice to find an elderly partner if the individual is willing and the children agree. After all, children can't be at home often, and someone can take care of each other and relieve loneliness.
Because some old traditional ideas are deeply rooted, many people think that remarriage in old age is ugly and makes children lose face. Although some lonely old people sincerely want to find a partner, their wishes are difficult to achieve because of the opposition of their children. Therefore, if lonely old people want to find happiness in their later years and change their lonely situation, they must be brave enough to break away from the shackles of old ideas. Generally speaking, finding a suitable wife for lonely old people is a feasible way to change their loneliness.
Second, have time to do more activities. The activities I'm talking about are not just physical exercise, but often going out of the house and taking part in some activities, including attending classes for the elderly and participating in some collective cultural and sports activities suitable for the characteristics of the elderly. You can often write, draw, dance, walk, fish and chat according to your hobbies, so as to meet your interests and reduce or alleviate loneliness and troubles in life.
The third is to teach the elderly to learn to use computers and networks, and learn to use chat tools, so it is very convenient to communicate with others. Learning network technology can improve a person's physical quality and thinking ability, make the spiritual world more profound and broad, know more peers and have their own social circle.
It is inevitable to live alone, and it is better to be cheerful. It's hard for introverts to get rid of the shadow of loneliness! After all, the two have lived together for decades and are emotionally inseparable. Especially looking at other people's happy old age and comparing their own unfortunate situation, that kind of loneliness that has never been seen before will arise spontaneously.
