Often times these days, with all the trappings of the
modern world, the elderly find themselves isolated and alone. Perhaps it is hard for them to get out or a
lot of their friends have moved away or passed on, but whatever it is, they end
up quite lonely. One way to try to
counter this, is by developing new hobbies.
Just because one is somewhat housebound, does not mean that they have to
spend all their time like zombies, in front of the television. The National
Publishers Exchange offers a variety of magazine titles that specialize in
crafts and hobbies. These do not have to
be too extraneous activities – just something fun and easy like playing chess
or becoming a mentor; writing stories or going for recreational parks.
What’s most important is to avoid spending too much alone
doing nothing. That can become very
depressing and also exacerbate the isolated feeling.
