| When
joint families started breaking up in the last
century, the age-old eastern traditions in which
the very young and the family care system also
weakened.
Young
adults in their most productive phase of life
now live such stressful lives that it is impossible
for them to give the care their ageing parents
deserve. Yet, this is the time when their parents
need the utmost care and compassion to support
them through their declining years.
It
is normal for aged parents to feel neglected &
unwanted or even being a burden on their children.
This need to be. The dignity, rights, needs and
expectations of the elderly
Can be respected and provided for just like when
they were younger.
The
right kind of help is now at hand. |
