How does the loneliness of parents and relatives affect the physical and mental health of the elderly?

1, children care more about the elderly and do their duty to support and honor them.

If children and parents live in the same city, they should take time to go home and visit the elderly to solve their difficulties and loneliness. Pay more attention when you are in the field, often contact the elderly by phone, or monitor them remotely, and keep an eye on the life dynamics of the elderly at any time. Arrange family members to go home to visit the elderly on holidays, so that the elderly can enjoy the family happiness of their children and grandchildren around their knees and the younger generation to be caring and attentive, without feeling left out and abandoned.

2. Support the elderly to remarry. For the widowed elderly, children should be enthusiastic, satisfy their desire to remarry and solve the situation of the elderly alone.

3. Help the elderly to cultivate their personal interests and get pleasure from reading, writing, drawing, practicing piano, planting flowers, raising animals and other activities. All these help them get rid of the lonely circle. Even though there may be only one person engaged in these activities, once you devote yourself wholeheartedly, loneliness will quietly disappear.

4. Encourage the elderly to exercise moderately every day. It would be better if you can participate in the activities of the community elderly association, so that the elderly can have a healthy body and enhance their confidence and ability in life.

5. The community should help the elderly who live alone, and send warm should send care.
