The thing which most people fear the most..eldery fell down at home with head bleeding...and laying down alone. This happened to 90 yrs old Aunty Chan 2 days before CNY. By the grace of God, her son came back from work not long after that and neighbour helped to call for an ambulance.
She has been staying in this elderly/after care home since CNY till now. She should be going back her own house soon as the fee is paid by her grandson who just started to work in Sgp. Good that the grandson still have compassion toward her tho his mother already passed on.
She would love to continue to stay here as its all been taken care off no need to struggle to cook or do house chores, in fact I feel she looks much better now. No need to eat leftover dishes from restaurant and reheat the next day as dinner. But few thousands MYR per month is not everyone can afford.
This is the first time I see an elderly happily staying in a retirement home especially a Chinese.
May God have mercy and compassion to this 90 years old lady. I asked what can I do for her? She said "Come and chit chat and pray for me", that's all I need. Things can be little bit lonely here. As I glance thru, all I can see is those elderly seating and facing the TV, not sure if they are really watching or just want some "sound" to pass thru for the day. Their eyes just delighted when see an unfamiliar face come in and try to strike a conversation with you.
Life is such that people nowdays who are still well and able will say I don't need to rely, ask anyone to.... I don't need my kids to so and so on...but, we do not know how things will turn when situation happens..and everyone will say they dont want to live so long and suffer. But no one know our future ahead.
Whether we are rich, poor, healthy and not..human connection and support system is still needed.
With the advancement in technology, Ai and Individualistic life..one thing never go outdated......
"Be Good and Be Kind",everyone have their own unspoken internal struggle.
