We are forgetting our elderly and they know it.
And it’s affecting their lives
Have you ever thought about what your life might be like once your old? This is where the question where do you see yourself in 10 years extends to where do you see yourself at 70–80 years old?
Most of us don’t think that far ahead, those are years in our lives that we see too far away to truly be of any importance at the moment. Yes, we all have our retirement funds, and plans for our kids, yet what are you going to do when you’re 70 or 80 years old?
Our elderly community never really thought about those things just as we don’t, and we also don’t think too much about our elderly community at all. They are the part of our lives we don’t understand or want to think about yet, and subconsciously society has tossed them aside, and have been neglecting our elderly community. As well as underestimating them.
The world has forgotten about them, but they haven’t forgotten about the rest of the world. They know they have been tossed aside.
This is one of the biggest problems around the world right now and is something that should be addressed.
Think about the last time you decided to visit your grandmother or an elderly family…
