I am a nurse with a busy schedule, dealing with various conditions and patients every day, and there is always a lot of pressure to do a good job. To give myself time to relax, I usually choose simple pastimes to reduce stress, such as watching TV series, shopping, or playing mahjong with friends. But recently, I heard a story that made my heart heavy.
The story takes place in the hospital where I belong, there is a 68-year-old aunt who talks to me about something by chance. She is a mahjong enthusiast and will make an appointment with friends every day to play mahjong, chat and pass the time. Recently, however, she began to feel irritable and miserable, and when I asked her why, she cried to me: "This pastime is very harmful. ”
"Auntie, why do you say that?" I asked, curious, as I sat with Auntie.
The aunt wiped her tears, raised her head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you know, young people may not understand, but we old people have to face loneliness and the pressure of life every day. Mahjong has become a safe haven for us, so that we no longer feel lonely and empty. However, as time went on, I found that many of my friends were swallowed up by this black hole. ”
Her words made me clench my hands, and there was a hint of helplessness and sadness in her eyes. I deeply understand what she said, many elderly people do choose some pastimes to relieve their inner anxiety when facing loneliness and stress, but many times, these ways may not be healthy, and even cause physical and mental harm. At this point, what should we do?
"Auntie, can you tell me how your friends were swallowed by the 'black hole'?" I asked softly.
The aunt sighed and said slowly: "Some friends are addicted to gambling and are out of control and owe a lot of foreign debts; some friends have lost the love and companionship of their families because of long-term mahjong; and some friends have delayed their health because of playing mahjong, and finally suffered a lot of ......"
Her words pierced my heart like a sharp sword. At that moment, I deeply understood her feelings, and her voice may be to warn more elderly people not to fall into this bad pastime. Blend in with the crowd and set up a warning sign to let them know about the potential harm behind it.
"Auntie, I see. I excitedly shook my aunt's hand, full of sincere emotion, "I will record your experience well, so that more people can understand this situation, and I hope to help more elderly people." ”
The aunt raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes, "Thank you, young man, it really warms me to be able to listen to me." ”
At this moment, I deeply understood that as young people, we should be more understanding, more patient, and more caring. Because every elderly person deserves our cherishment and care, we should fill the difficulties and sadness they encounter with our actions and care. Don't let them indulge in this pastime, don't let them be lonely and hopeless, this is what we should do, and this is what we should be responsible for.
As a nurse, I should do my part to pay attention to and care for every patient with my words and actions, even those elderly who are stuck and lonely. This is my responsibility and my mission. Because each of us deserves a selfless care and warmth.
"Thank you, head nurse, in fact, it was my aunt's experience that touched me deeply. We must pay more attention to the elderly so that they no longer feel lonely and neglected. I said firmly.
"Yes, we should also promote more healthy and meaningful recreations for old age, so that they can find joy and meaning in life. The head nurse said with deep feeling.
I turned around and saw that it was an elderly patient from the hospital, who was looking at me with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
"Yes, you're right, we young people should pay more attention to you, and I hope you will participate in more activities that are good for your physical and mental health. "I'm looking forward to it from the bottom of my heart.
"Young man, are you here to communicate with us old people?" said a gray-haired old man with a smile.
"Yes, I would like to be able to listen to more older people and understand their needs and ideas. I replied frankly.
"Then you must have a lot of stories to share with us. The old man looked at me kindly and said.
"Actually, I want to talk to you about the way the elderly spend their time. "I was frank about my purpose.
"Ah, that's an important question. We seniors do need more wholesome pastimes so that we can stay healthy and active. An old grandmother expressed her opinion.
At the symposium, I learned about the thoughts and needs of many elderly people, and I also shared the story of my aunt, which deeply touched everyone here. This exchange made me understand that this society needs more people's care and efforts to help those who need care.
Then, I decided to expand the scope of this matter and call on more people to pay attention to and care about the inner world of the elderly through the media and social platforms. I firmly believe that everyone's love and care can make society a better place.
Because love is a united force, we work together to pass on this love to more people in need and sprinkle this warmth to every corner. May our society become a better place, and may every elderly person be able to have a happy and happy old age.
After the symposium at the hospital, I went back to the nurses' station and sorted out my papers. At this moment, an old man with gray hair and high spirits pushed open the door of the nurse's station and walked up to me.
"Yes, after I read it, I was deeply moved. I really appreciate that young people can care about me old guys. The old man said frankly.
"You are so polite, in fact, you seniors are people we need to respect and love. I said.
"I also have a wish to organize an event where young people can communicate with us old people, so that they can get to know us and care about us. The old man said excitedly.
"That's a great suggestion! I'd like to help you make that happen. I said firmly to the old man.
"Thank you, young man, you are such a good girl!" the old man's eyes sparkled with hope.
Subsequently, I planned a two-generational exchange event with the elderly. We invited the hospital's youth volunteer team to participate, and some elderly people spontaneously joined us. During the event, I saw many elderly people laughing and communicating with young people, and I was delighted by their smiles.
"Thank you, little girl, for your help, this event was such a success!" said an old woman excitedly to me.
"Nothing, as long as everyone is willing to participate, a lot of good things can be achieved. I replied with a smile.
"It's nice for you young people to care about us old guys. The old man said with emotion.
This exchange activity not only shortened the distance between the elderly and the young, but also enhanced mutual understanding and respect. At the end of the event, I deeply felt that conveying warmth and care is the power to make society a better place.
In the following days, I used my spare time to continue to hold more exchanges for the elderly. In the process, I have made more excellent elderly friends, and their life experiences, wisdom and optimism have deeply affected me. I also got a lot of unexpected gains, which made me even more determined to continue to pay attention to and help the elderly.
Recently, I met a team of volunteers who started the Elderly Care Association, and we hit it off and started working together to hold more community events and help more seniors. I firmly believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to make more elderly people feel the warmth and care of society.
I firmly believe that everyone's love is the driving force for social progress, and every warm gesture is the pursuit of a better life. I am willing to contribute my own strength, so that more elderly people can feel cared for, so that their later life is full of sunshine and warmth. May everyone be able to listen to the voices of others with their hearts and warm their hearts with love. This is the original intention of my perseverance, and this is my yearning for a better society.
With the efforts of the association and the attention of the society, the care of the elderly has made great progress. We held more events, and nursing homes, communities, and parks became places where we worked. During a volunteer activity, I met an elderly woman named Grandma Li, who was in her eighties, with silver hair, but still smiling.
"Grandma Li, your smile is really bright. I said with relief.
"Well, young man, I am glad to see that you care so much about us. Grandma Li patted my hand with a trembling hand.
"That's what we should do, the old people are people we need to respect and take care of. I whispered.
"I'm a carpenter and I've been working on construction sites all my life. But now that I'm older, my health is no longer good, my children are working in the city, and they rarely come back to see me. Sometimes it really feels lonely. Grandma Li sighed and said.
"Grandma Li, you have worked hard for so many years, let us accompany you now. I reassured.
"Young man, your concern warms my heart. You helped me build a little garden and often came to visit me and talk to me, I really appreciate you. "Grandma Li's eyes are red.
This small garden has become a highlight of Grandma Li's life, and she takes care of the flowers and trees every day, and her smile is getting brighter and brighter. I am convinced that every elderly person may only need a simple care to rekindle hope and enthusiasm for life. This kind of care does not need flowery words and expensive gifts, but only needs our hearts to accompany and care.
After a period of contact, more emotions and thoughts about the elderly surged in my heart. I have gradually come to understand that caring for the elderly is not only an obligation, but also a kind of emotional communication and transmission. They have contributed to society, and we should give more love and respect to them at every step of the way.
In the days that followed, I worked harder to devote myself to the cause of caring for the elderly. Together with my colleagues, I visited the elderly who were lonely, organized cultural activities, held health talks, and had the privilege of meeting some like-minded volunteers. I believe that when everyone is willing to lend a hand, when everyone is willing to give love, our society will become a better place.
Perhaps, we cannot change the passage of time, nor can we eliminate the physical suffering of the elderly, but we can use our love and actions to accompany them and bring them joy and warmth. This is my greatest wish in this life, and it is also my constant watch and pursuit. May we all use love and care to light up the light of life in every old age.
I continue to devote myself to caring for the elderly, and volunteering has gradually become my daily routine. During a visit to an elderly care center, I got to know an elderly man named Grandpa Zhang. He is over seventy years old, enthusiastic and cheerful, and often tells stories of the past.
"Grandpa Zhang, you were such a good craftsman back then!" I admired.
"Haha, that's that. I can't get anything else now, but I can make some wooden toys for the children here and watch them have fun. Grandpa Zhang replied with a smile.
"You are such a kind person who is willing to pass on your love and skills to young people. I said from the bottom of my heart.
"These children are my heart and the future of our country. At my age, I feel very happy that I can still do more for society and for this group of children. Grandpa Zhang said excitedly.
Grandpa Zhang's words touched me deeply. The kindness and dedication he showed was deeply contagious to me. I believe that it is these seemingly small love and dedication that constitute a beautiful landscape of social development.
In my communication with Grandpa Zhang, I found that the elderly exude a unique wisdom and calmness, and they use their experience and patience to make people feel admired. I also met more like-minded partners, and we regularly carried out volunteer activities together, sending warmth to the lonely and widowed elderly, taking care of the elderly with dementia, and even in a volunteer activity, my colleagues and I also held a small concert for a blind elderly man, and his face was full of happy smiles, which made our hearts also surge with a sense of warmth.
When I had a good time in the act of love and care, everything also enhanced my understanding and perception of life. During this time, I deeply felt the importance of emotional communication and heart-to-heart connection between people. Between people of different ages, perhaps an understanding and a companionship can bring each other different strength and touch.
In the depths of my heart, caring for the elderly is no longer just an obligation, but a mission. I firmly believe that everyone, regardless of age, should be cared for and respected, because this love is not only a kind of support and help for them, but also a baptism of our own emotions. Since then, I have strengthened my original intention, and I am willing to pass on this love, and I am willing to work with more people to ignite the light of hope in life.
One day, when I was chatting with a lonely old man, he suddenly said to me: "Young people, do you know? When you are old, what you need most is not money or fame, but the companionship and care of the people around you. ”
I whispered, "Yes, I understand." Companionship is indeed the most important thing. ”
"I've lived in this community all my life, but now I don't have anyone to talk to. I miss my neighbors and friends in the past. ”
His words made me think deeply. In fact, with the development of society, the loneliness and spiritual needs of the elderly are gradually becoming prominent. The company of family and friends means a lot to them, and we should pay more attention to their emotional and spiritual state, and fill the emptiness in their hearts with our love and care.
In the days that followed, I actively participated in community volunteer activities to encourage more young people to join in. During a volunteer activity, I met a caring person.
"Hello, I am Teacher Chen, I am also a volunteer, and I am very touched by what I care about the elderly. She smiled at me.
"Hello, nice to meet you. The care of the elderly is a long-term need and task, which needs to be done together. I replied sincerely.
"That's what I thought, too. We can organize more community events to get more seniors involved so they don't feel alone. Teacher Chen suggested.
That night, the whole community was immersed in a warm atmosphere. The elders received laughter and applause, and our volunteers were also very grateful. At this moment, I understood that every act of caring will become a scenery in the lives of others, and every loved one will return our love with their smiles and happiness.
In my opinion, this care is not only to help the elderly, but also to convey a sense of emotion and warmth. Now I am willing to use my strength from the bottom of my heart to care for others and continue the warmth of this love. May this transmission of love linger in everyone's heart, and fill the warm needs of everyone's life with love and care.
