Incredible India monthly contest of May #1| How do we control the loneliness of our parents?
Assalam o alaikum.
Hello my steemit friends I hope you are all doing great and enjoying your day. I really enjoy writing posts for different contests because it gives me a chance to share my thoughts and learn from the ideas of others. Today i am taking part in a contest that talks about a very important topic how we can control the loneliness of our parents i will try my best to write in simple and easy English so everyone can understand my thoughts clearly.
Do you hold the view that, over time, parents develop a longing for the presence of their children? Please elaborate.
Yes i truly believe that with time parents begin to feel a strong desire for the presence of their children. When we are small our parents take care of us spend time with us and always want us near. We are their whole world. But when we grow up our lives become busy. We go away for studies work or marriage and sometimes we forget how much our parents miss us. Parents may not always say it but in their hearts they miss our voice our talks our laughs and even the little things we used to do around them. When the house becomes quiet and empty their hearts feel lonely. They wait for a call a visit or even a simple message from us. They may not complain but the pain of being alone can be seen in their eyes.
How do we control the loneliness of our parents?
The main reasons for the loneliness of parents are many. One big reason is that children leave home after growing up. This is called the “empty nest” feeling. The house that was once full of love noise and fun becomes very silent. Another reason is retirement. When parents stop working they suddenly have a lot of free time and no one to spend it with. Health problems also become common in old age. If they are unwell and have no one to care for them they feel even more lonely. Some parents also lose their friends or their life partner and this adds more sadness to their life. Also in today’s busy world children often do not have time to call or visit their parents. This lack of attention makes parents feel ignored and unwanted. These reasons slowly bring loneliness sadness and sometimes even depression.
What are the main reasons behind the loneliness of parents?
By giving them love time and attention. First we should talk to them every day even if it’s just for five minutes. A small call can bring a big smile to their face. Second we should try to visit them whenever we can if we live in the same city we should go and meet them regularly. Third we should include them in our lives. We can share our happy moments with them ask for their advice and make them feel important. We can also take them out for a walk go shopping together or cook with them at home. These small activities help them feel close to us. We can also encourage them to follow hobbies like gardening praying reading or joining a social group. If it is possible living with our parents is the best way to make them feel happy and safe. And most importantly we should always be kind and patient with them. Sometimes they might repeat things or get emotional but we must remember that they only want our love.
In the end our parents gave us everything when we were small. Now it is our turn to take care of them. A little love and time can make their lives full of peace and happiness. Lets try our best to never let them feel alone.
