helplessness of the elderly

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.
