Dose anyone else die a little on the inside when they see an old person alone

Invite them for a little talk if they seem to be wanting to be engaged in sch activities. Talking with some who seems to be alone is a kind deed. Inviting them to share what's deep inside them is another kind deed and by just listening, you can help them forget for a while loneliness in their alone.

I see old people alone all of the time, but I never really worry about them. Sometimes I smile at them. The positive thing is that they are able to go out on their own. Many old people are bedridden or have to use a wheelchair, and they cannot go out to the store all by themselves. So, I would be hoping that they are just happy to go out for some fresh air. I don't think there is much you can do for an old person that is alone. They might go out and meet other old people, and stop to talk.

How about become a good friend???? Sometimes something as little as a kind word can change a life. I have seen this in action. Nice discussion!!!

If a person sitting alone in a mall,that means s/he is not that old. My MIL is 70 yrs old and she likes going to mall alone. She likes strolling alone,maybe she wants some freedom -yah,she wants to enjoy the things that she was not able to enjoy when she is caring and attending her kids till they got married and have family of their own. We never knew what are the reason why some old people wants to be alone. welcome to mylot

I think a good way is go one day to the mall by yourself and when you see some old person alone, go ahead and talk to him. Usually, old persons only wants to talk with somebody else. If you show that you are interesting in his life, he's going to be really happy.
