The autumn of life, growing old, loneliness or departing this life duly
Journal Title: Progress in Health Sciences - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Passing, departing of man became an awkward subject in the contemporary civilization (avoiding problems of old age and death, the cult of the body). However, the problem of solitude affect's man at every time of his or her life. Therefore, there is a need to seek solutions in the interdisciplinary dimension conducive to the elimination of loneliness of older people (or at least to contribute to their reduction) and relieve the consequences. Active participation of older people in the life of family and society is very important. People supporting the elderly (physicians, nurses, social workers, volunteers) should promote the concept of old age being valuable, full of possibilities, often hidden developmental reserves.
