Hello! Like everyone else, I want to share my problems and ask for advice, because I am really in such a situation that there is nothing I can do. My grandmother is very ill. She has been in bed for several months, the doctors can't find out what's wrong with her. Everyone says to leave her and not to cram her with drugs, because it is unlikely that she will be treated at her age. But this woman has done so much for me and I love her so much that I just can't stand and watch indifferently. She watches the ceiling all day. He doesn't feel well, he doesn't go out, he doesn't watch TV and he doesn't read books because he can't. He has no contact with the outside world. Her only entertainment was eating, but she hasn't been eating lately. I want to cheer her up in some way, to make her fight, because sometimes even just the energy of the patient gets him back on his feet. I've considered many scenarios and yet I can't do most of them. I thought of finding her some of her favorite audio books and somehow putting them on her headphones so she could hear them, but I don't know how and I'm not even sure it's appropriate. Please, if you have any suggestion or just advice, write! Thank you in advance!

Older people feel unnecessary and no longer have a purpose. They lack love. If they are still sane, they increasingly live in the past and remember different things, what was before. My grandmother recently died and I feel very guilty that I rarely went to see her. He was in another city. The last time I saw her, her eyes shone, she was looking at me with such love. I also showed a picture of my child on my phone. He is 3 years old and they have never seen each other. The poor thing picked up my phone and started kissing him. My heart broke and I felt terrible. As I was leaving, I said I would come again. But I did not succeed. About a month later, he died. That's what I want to tell you, to give love to your grandmother. Not so much books, movies and activities as your presence. Talk to her and tell her different things. If he can talk, ask for advice. Let her feel significant and loved. I think that the elderly need it the most. I was late. I hope you forgive me, up there ...
