These problem don't occur onesidedly and so the solution also needs to come from both the sides nd above all... the basic attitude towards life needs to be changed... Every person has to go through all the phases of life so to lead a cool and calm life each indivisual has to avoid thoughts like i'm the only one who adjusts to elders and youngsters both... my life is of a prisoner if i have to listen someone elder or younger.... and lots of other such stuff... We lead all our life doing what we like and as we like and obviously elders are neglected in this process and then comes the phase when we are in their place and then we again find it tough to understand our children's problems and situations... the day to day increasing stress they are going through.... The only way out is to keep yourself active and engaged in any of your favourite activities... concentrate within your self till your last breath... my grandma is 85 today and i've also seen her grandma who died at the age of more than 120.... i never saw them feeling isolated or lonely ... they have been so active and my grandma has no time for us even today.... and all her children are so happy when she visits ant of them....
