As is customary after Sunday Mass, I visit an elderly person. And even though my visit last Sunday was brief, what I saw serves as a reminder of what we may easily overlook.
The holidays bring joy, laughter, and a schedule packed with events for many of us. It's hard to fathom how some individuals may be depressed during this joyous season, which some refer to as "the most amazing." Still, it does. The holidays, for instance, can rekindle painful memories for someone who lost a loved one during the season. Sometimes, the holidays in general, rather than a specific event, conjure up unwanted associations.
During the holidays, depression symptoms are frequently experienced by certain seniors. Because of the passing of time and the numerous loved ones that older people have lost, including parents, siblings, and friends who have passed away, the season can be trying.
The lady I visited took great delight in customs from years past that are no longer possible. It can be challenging to accept that younger generations are creating new traditions. Children and grandkids frequently move away, and families frequently split up as a result of divorce.
She could use some help, in my opinion, if she is to escape the Christmas blues and feel more like herself.
Everyone benefits greatly from the sun and fresh air, which also aid in our vitamin D absorption. It's chilly now-a-days; maybe we can just wrap up and go for a stroll, or sit outside in the sunshine and read or talk. Perhaps she can feel great after getting a new haircut, pedicure, or manicure. She might like the pedicures because they also massage her lower legs.
I post an article daily, and I hope to see you again soon!
