helplessness of the elderly

Darrion 2022-04-19 09:02:03

From a first-person perspective, immerse yourself in the life of an elderly person with dementia. The most important thing is the fear and helplessness in my heart.

The elderly will be frightened because their memory is confused and they cannot understand what happened and the people they saw.

The old man will be helpless and feel that his leaves have fallen off. In a strange place, I hope that the mother in my memory will pick me up and go home. I feel helpless like a child. Helpless like a child.

The elderly should be strong, you can't speak to them like a mentally retarded, or coax a child's tone, otherwise they will think that you are insulting them and despising them.

Immersive experience of the inferiority complex, fear and helplessness of old age, perhaps more empathy when caring for the elderly in such a situation. Better respect and love the elderly.

Just imagine that if you were to be sent to a nursing home, you would feel very scared, leave the familiar environment, be unable to see familiar people, face your aging body, messy memories, and wait for the judgment of fate. Hope you don't get sick when you are old.

    I have read a lot of Alzheimer's propositional essays, but this is the first time I really feel the confusion, helplessness and fear. Watching 84-year-old Anthony's trembling monologue, choking, and sobbing, I felt so distressed that I subconsciously pressed pause, and then realized that what was even more helpless was that life could only go on. "I don't know what's happening anymore"

The Father quotes

  • The Woman: First... we'll get dressed, shall we?

    Anthony: Yes.

    The Woman: We'll get dressed, and then we'll go for a walk in the park, shall we?

    Anthony: Yes.

    The Woman: Good. The trees and all the leaves. Then we'll come back here, and we'll have something to eat. And then you can have your siesta, all right? And then if you're feeling on good form, we can go for another little walk in the park. ust the two of us. Because it's such a lovely day. It's sunny outside. And we have to go while it's sunny. We have to take that chance. 'Cause it never lasts long when the weather's this good, does it?

    Anthony: No.

    The Woman: So... let's get dressed. Is that all right?

    Anthony: No.

    The Woman: Come on now.

    Anthony: No.

    The Woman: Come on, baby. It's all right. Come on... Shh. Easy now. Easy. You're going to feel all right in a minute, I promise you. Everything will be all right.

  • Anthony: World is turning.
