Care and Empathy: Pleasant Days for the Elderly
|
My name is Diana. I come from Hungary, and I am 28 years old. I am a mother of two small children.
During the summer of 2017, I experienced that my grandmother's health deteriorated suddenly, and I had to take care of her for an extended period. This period taught me how crucial and valuable caring for the elderly is. My bedridden grandmother likely couldn't have met her daily needs without my assistance. The responsibility I took on during these three years awakened a deep commitment in me to support the elderly. I feel that the assistance provided during such challenging times can significantly ease the lives of elderly individuals, and it genuinely brings me joy to help others in this phase.
I would like to be a caregiver because, through caring for my own grandmother, I experienced how crucial and valuable supporting the elderly is. The feeling that I can help ease their lives brings me particular joy. Working with the elderly, for me, is not only a responsibility but also an opportunity to appreciate their experiences and contribute to improving their quality of life.
