KEEPING YOUR
HOPES UP
Few things in life are worse than the felling of hopelessness. This feeling can give rise to depression, which, in turn, has its own consequences. While depression is a challenging mental state at any age, it can be particularly harmful to seniors. Recent research suggests that, for older patients, depression may be as much of a risk factor for death as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Ironically, most people would not hesitate to have a heart condition diagnosed and treated; however, mental illness is often sidestepped. This is a stigma that must be erased, for the health and well-being of all. If you notice that an elderly family member or friend is depressed, find ways to get him or her help.
Finding a way to stay connected to life is what is critical to our well-being as well as to our survival. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadway Ave., Warrenton, we offer access to all sorts of community resources for folks dealing with the loss of a loved one.
For a tour, call 540-347-3431 Bright View Cemetery, just outside Warrenton, offers monuments and memorials for all cemetaries.
