00:00
They talk around me, not to me.
00:02
For many elders, this quiet confession is more common than you might think.
00:07
Sharing a home with loved ones once promised warmth and togetherness.
00:11
But these days, being under the same roof doesn't always mean feeling at home.
00:16
Especially for our elders, the sense of belonging can quietly slip away,
00:21
leaving them feeling invisible.
00:22
Living with family doesn't always translate to a sense of belonging.
00:27
Imagine spending your days surrounded by the people you love,
00:30
yet feeling as if you're fading into the background,
00:33
like background noise in the rhythm of daily life.
00:36
For elders, this is an experience many know all too well.
00:40
It's not about open hostility or deliberate exclusion.
00:44
Rather, it's a subtle kind of emotional neglect.
00:48
Not abuse or cruelty, but a lack of attention, engagement, and validation.
00:52
Over time, this neglect can pile up, brick by brick,
00:57
until it forms a wall of loneliness, eroding self-worth,
01:01
and even opening the door to depression.
01:04
The psychological impact of invisibility is profound.
01:07
After decades of work, raising families, and contributing to their communities,
01:12
many elders find themselves adrift after retirement or widowhood.
01:16
These major life transitions can leave identity shaken
01:20
and make meaningful connection more vital than ever.
01:24
Instead, elders often encounter silence.
01:28
Or worse, the casual disregard of being talked around instead of spoken to.
01:33
How do you know if an elder in your home is feeling this way?
01:36
The signs are often subtle but unmistakable.
01:40
You might notice they stop joining family activities,
01:43
even ones they used to enjoy.
01:45
Their responses may become clipped, and I'm fine,
01:49
offered even when it's clear they're not.
01:52
They might retreat to their room more often,
01:54
or become unusually quiet at the dinner table.
01:57
You'll hear phrases like,
01:59
Don't worry about me, or I'll just stay out of the way.
02:02
These aren't signs of humility or a desire for solitude.
02:06
They're hurt, disguised as politeness.
02:08
It's not that elders want constant attention,
02:11
but every person longs to feel included, respected, and heard.
02:16
The good news is, it doesn't take sweeping changes to make a difference.
02:20
Small, intentional actions can turn the tide and remind elders that they matter.
02:26
Start with daily eye contact and acknowledgement.
02:28
Something as simple as,
02:31
How's your morning been?
02:32
Dees can break through days of silence.
02:35
When they speak, look at them.
02:37
Really look.
02:38
It might sound obvious,
02:40
but in the bustle of daily life,
02:42
it's easy to forget.
02:43
Next, give them a role,
02:45
not just a seat.
02:47
Invite their opinion when making even small decisions,
02:50
like what to cook for dinner,
02:51
or which movie to watch.
02:53
Involve them in routines,
02:55
meal planning,
02:56
sharing stories from their youth,
02:58
folding laundry together,
02:59
or choosing music for the evening.
03:01
These gestures aren't just about filling time.
03:04
They're about restoring dignity and agency.
03:07
Finally, set aside time that's just for them,
03:10
even if it's only 10 minutes a day.
03:12
Not because elders need supervision,
03:14
but because presence equals value.
03:18
Take a walk together,
03:20
play a game of cards,
03:21
or simply share a cup of tea
03:23
in companionable silence.
03:25
These moments say,
03:26
more eloquently than words ever could,
03:28
you matter here.
03:30
No one should feel like a ghost in their own home.
03:33
It doesn't take grand gestures,
03:35
just consistent human ones.
03:37
By taking these small steps,
03:39
you can transform your home
03:40
into a place of true belonging for everyone,
03:43
across every generation.
03:45
What's one way you include elders in your daily life?
03:49
Every effort counts.
03:50
Remember,
03:51
a little recognition goes a long way
03:53
in making someone feel at home.
03:55
How can they feel like the spirit is an important thing?
03:58
everyone's at home.
03:59
We don't know where you are in this week.
03:59
You can DIY free space Falcon.
04:00
You can relax your ass,
04:00
go there.
04:02
You can walk away.
04:02
America,
04:03
see you.
04:04
Because of the light in the darks of your dominion,
04:06
we love to be your way in yodall.
04:07
ahi,
04:08
I know I really love you.
04:09
We love you.
04:11
Maybe you love it,
04:13
but you like a ghost in a smell.
04:14
There's nothing beyond the light in mind.
04:15
unfortunately,
04:16
I really love it.
04:17
That's what,
04:18
where?
04:19
Is that just a 수도 중...
