    Now a days many youngsters don't get married or get divorced to run away from responsibilities & have Fun filled life!!! But as they grow old people distance themselves, including their own family & friends.. Hence slowly loneliness takes over them & they fall into depression !! There is no guarantee that having a life partner & children will keep people happy but youth should dare to take challenges..

    Yes....your last sentence speaks a lot of truth. I am seeing around, many children look after their until their parents write off the property to them. Afterwards nothing. In one of the Yesterday's article, Shri H. Almeida, mumbai written a beautiful comment regarding this. This news about a man who left his mother near the temple, by giving mobile without sim and blank sheet...saying it has his no.

    This is the daunting mental situation faced by many seniors these days... Polarisation and nuclearisation of families leave the elders in lurch... With little or no excitement in life many pull on with life... But few can not take it any further... RIP to the departed soul...

    Probably, she was unmarried or a widow without any issue; now, which relative would take close care of an old person unless she is very rich or having a big property in her name? BTW, a depressed person, who has attempted suicide once, should be closely monitored with timely intake of antidepressants as they are highly susceptible to repeat the same at some later time unless tended with love and care!!!
