Hi friends, it's a pleasure to welcome you again to my blog.
Parenting is one of the beautiful experiences in life because you have people that surround you, speak to you, make you smile and cheer you up when you are down. But while children grow up, they also have their own lives to live and a family to take care of. By the time children leave to pursue their careers and start their lives, it's usually a difficult moment for parents who once lived with the children helping each other.
However, it is natural that these things will happen; children will grow up even as parents grow older. The big question is, when parents grow old and children live apart, how should they be taken care of? Let's find answers as you read on.
Do you hold the view that, over time, parents develop a longing for the presence of their children? Please elaborate. |

Yes, parents do long to see their children overtime. I believe that this happens due to the fact that these children have been part of their lives, so, once in a while, they long to see them. This happens because people whom we share deep bonds and relationships with dwell in the deepest part of our minds that we may not easily let go of them or even forget about them. That's why parents long to see their children once in a while.
How do we control the loneliness of our parents? |

It's a pity that as parents, we become lonely after we had a life of peace and love from our families. I think our parents' loneliness can be managed by:
Getting a live-in caregiver
Registering them in clubs that they love will keep them connected with old friends and folks.
If they are single, getting a partner to keep them going, especially to communicate with them, is not a bad idea either. If they want to remarry, for me, it's great.
If they love to stay in old people's homes, they should be taken there if they're old.
Regular visit and phone calls will reduce or minimize loneliness.
The one thing I'm planning to do is get them a special flat in our homes for them to live with you and get along with you and your children. At least even if it's not the same building, it should be in the same environment where you can check on them daily or bring them in to live in order to reduce their loneliness.
What are the main reasons behind the loneliness of parents? |

Loneliness comes in, especially when their other partner is late, or they are not together.
When the children are all grown up, they decide to pursue their careers and start their lives with their family. Leaving their parents will result in parents' loneliness.
Loneliness may come if they are not the kind that keep social circles, such as relating with extended families, friends and colleagues.
Sickness and struggling may cause people to feel lonely when no one cares about checking on them and when they are not able to get around and live their lives as they used to live before, loneliness may come in.
