having lost the spouse

having lost the companions
having lost the contemporaries
having failed to bridge the gap between generations
the life of single elder is nothing but a solitary confinement
time kills them every second inch by inch before they are leaving peacefully
they are nothing but orphans having all succeeding legal heirs around them
no body has got time to spend time for them apart from providing amenties
life is not for amenities alone life is for companionship also
then only life cherish otherwise deplores

credit goes to your family members
now a days, old people are considered as useless baggage
taking shelter in old age homes for reason or the other
