Friday, September 2, 2011


If you are not a children's home, sooner or later you will have to deal with the problem of leisure time of aging relatives. Your beloved man who did so much for you, when I was younger and stronger, suddenly finds himself in a situation where his world, once such an immense, rapidly begins to shrink to the size of the street, yard, apartment.

Not everyone is able to bear it stoically, without suffering their frustrations on others. How often we hear from friends: "She (he) always requires communication, and I come with no work, I do not talk to. Well, of course, hurt.

As was his day, breaking voice barked: "There is no theater!" But the time will come when each such failure will be recalled with shame and pain ... The situation is aggravated if an older person is left alone after decades of marriage in which spouses literally "fused" with each other.

Frequent are also cases where the activities of old people suddenly lose their usual mobility and unconsciously begin to resent those who can walk and ride. They have nothing to tell us there is nothing to share, we also in fact, it seems that our day to them, trapped inside four walls, it is so rich and fascinating, was routine and tedious.

All this is very often leads to strained relations, the tears even discord, which can be avoided, helping an elderly person make leisure more diverse. Modern life provides a tremendous amount of technical tools to help brighten up the enforced solitude.
