“I think a lot of young folks underestimate how this is effecting the elderly, and not only those in assisted living or skilled nursing facilities.”
Some broken hearts are willing to take the risk of infection to be with those they love. Many don’t have long anyway and resent losing contact.
I think many here don’t take care of their elderly family members and rather put them into facilities like nursing homes and consider that normal. Those of us who care for our elderly family members in our home, like what is normal to us, have a hard time understanding why conservatives, family values etc. people rely on the government and anyone else to care for their elderly family members as we would.
I think a lot of older people, boomers and those after the boomer generation, put their parents into nursing homes like parents put their kids into daycare.
I would have never put my parents into nursing homes regardless of how wonderful they pretended to be. Nor did I put my kids into daycare. Why would anyone do that? and still pretend to be a conservative?
I think a lot of young people are appalled at how our society just puts our elderly into homes, nursing homes, assisted living facilities.
Why is it ok to send our senior family members to nursing homes/facilities?
I think a lot of older people, boomers and onward, think it’s ok to just put their elderly family members into “homes” and then expect our youth to care.
If I’m gonna die anyway, I’d rather spend my life with those I love.
There are far worse things than death. Every Christian knows that.
