Just wondering how you are trying to bring some joy/happiness to those who are going to be at home for the foreseeable future, particularly those who live on their own so may be very lonely.
My grandmother is in her mid nineties and has always been incredibly active, socialises every day, does keep fit etc. She is getting very upset and tearful (understandably). My dad is her ‘carer’ getting all her shopping for her, and stays to chat in the garden or inside from a distance (has to help with some cleaning so needs to be inside, disinfects anything he touches, wears a mask). That is her sole face to face contact at the moment. I phone almost every day, and FaceTime (she doesn’t like FaceTime very much but it’s good to show her my son). I email her funny articles or uplifting stories. I sent her a letter because she likes post. I think my cousins are also in regular contact.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of anything else I could do to brighten her days, and thought maybe others might get some ideas too. I appreciate in the scheme of things there isn’t much I can do, but I do think little gestures make a difference.
