With the improvement of material life and spiritual life, how to live a good life in old age has always been a topic of concern to everyone. With the arrival of 2024, new ways of providing for the elderly are also being accepted by more and more elderly people, and the thinking of the elderly is also undergoing major changes.
First, the other half died and resolutely did not look for a home.
Today's elderly people are really alive and well, and they are getting smarter and smarter. Before, regardless of men and women, a few years after the death of the wife, when they met the right one, they would take another step, and even some of the wives had been gone for less than a year before forming a family again. I think that when I am older, I should have a companion by my side and take care of each other, so that I can be happy in my old age. As everyone knows, it is precisely because of this misunderstanding that many elderly people who live with their partners regret it. Many people use one sentence to describe it: just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den.
My downstairs neighbor and his wife got together in their 60s, and now we've been together for 7 years. There is not a day that the two of them do not quarrel. In winter, the windows are closed and I can't hear. Especially in summer, when the windows are open, the scolding of the two people can continue until more than 10 o'clock at night.
As long as one of the children comes to the house, the two will inevitably fight after leaving. It's either that the other party takes something bad or that the other party takes less. Either one party is stealing money from his or her children and is found out by the other party. In short, these trivial things are incomprehensible and indescribable every day, and the ears of the neighbors are calloused. Therefore, it is not necessarily a good thing for the elderly to remarry, and it is not necessarily possible for the two to go to the end, and a serious illness may go their separate ways.
Second, eliminate the years of going to a nursing home.
In the past, most elderly people would have such an idea that they would go to a nursing home when they were old and couldn't move. However, with some understanding and cognition of nursing homes in recent years, this kind of care has seemed to have been screened out by the elderly, and home care is more suitable for themselves.
My mother-in-law is an example, although she is now a person and is 80 years old, if you talk to her about the nursing home, it is estimated that she will turn her face. Because she said that even if she died, she would die in her own house. After all, the atmosphere in my own home is different from that in a nursing home, where I watch some sick seedlings every day, and my mood is not much better. This is the same as hospitalization, why do people think about being discharged quickly when they are in the hospital, their health is slightly better, because the environment affects people's mood, and they are surrounded by patients who are humming, can this mood be good?
The mother-in-law also said that in her own home, at least no one showed her face. In a nursing home, if you are blessed and have a good character caregiver to take care of you, you will be lucky. But if you meet a ** sadistic nurse, you will be guilty. I don't think most of the elderly will go to a nursing home, after all, living in their own home will make you feel safe and comfortable.
3. Take medicine for minor illnesses and give up treatment for major illnesses.
Most of the retired elderly people now have pensions, but despite this, the old people are still reluctant to eat and drink, in order to have a headache and brain fever can pay for their own treatment. Although the state will reimburse part of it, those who are hospitalized for 1,2000 at a time still have to pay out of their own pockets. After all, when people get older, geriatric diseases will slowly come to their door, which is irresistible. However, in the face of a serious illness and the need for surgery** to prolong life, many elderly people will still choose to give up**.
They do this because they don't want to endanger their children because of their own survival. Because many families let their children borrow money because of their parents' illness, the family returned to poverty overnight and returned to the pre-liberation period, which is the result that many parents do not want to see. Therefore, if you have a minor illness, you should take medicine and take medicine, but if you have a serious illness, you should be cautious and consider whether it is worth spending this money, and whether it is necessary to borrow money everywhere to heal yourself in order to live a few more years.
In short, the thinking of today's elderly people has changed dramatically, they know what they need, live according to their own wishes, live happily and comfortably. At the same time, it also reduces the burden on his children, and he has no regrets in his later life.
