FILL THE LIVES OF THE ELDERLY WITH MUSIC

Caring for our aging parents and elderly can be a challenge. Taking extra step to make their lives more meaningful is a gift of love. Few realize the loneliness and the empty world of the aged. Spend as much time as you can with the elderly. When you need to leave them, fill their lives with music! Music plays a significant role in improving their lives, particularly if the music allows them to relive joyful memories. Set aside a time in their day to listening to classical and romantic music. Research shows that music reduces stress, anxiety and depression. It keeps the mind alert and promotes sleep. The improved emotional state improves appetite and a sense of well-being. Better yet, listen to music together!

During times of grief, the fabric of our soul is torn… much like the finest clothe that has become threadbare. Our hearts search for places to rest and heal… as the threads are replaced with care and compassion.
