Maintaining your seniors’ emotional health is just as important as ensuring their physical health. You will find that when their hearts are happy and filled with love and security, it manifests in their overall state of health. They are more driven to do things that give them back their old flames, finding a new hobby, and of course, it keeps feelings of depression at bay.

Depression and anxiety are often triggered when they are not able to look for an outlet for their emotions, but what better way to do that than to talk? Communication is of utmost importance, first and foremost, but someone has to be there to be able to listen to them.

It is easy to feel that they are becoming a burden to their families at their age. They might be uncomfortable asking for any kind of help because they do not want to become someone who might take a huge chunk of time from their own loved ones. Unfortunate as it can be, you can still do something to stop them from feeling that way:

• Visit them as often as you can.
• Help them find a new hobby.
• Do not keep them sitting in one place for too long.
• Go for walks.
• Help them find their own circle around the neighborhood by encouraging them to attend community gatherings and fairs.
• Make sure that they do not forget to exercise.
• LISTEN

The whole point is to secure budding feelings of insecurity, depression, and anxiety that come with being alone. Aging is in a whole different league on its own when it comes to the level of wisdom, and knowledge that they gain. But along with that, are the losses of loved ones and certain traumatic experiences that might have been hard to overcome.
