Interviewee: Ms. Huang Yuhua
Many elderly women can't always stay with them and feel helpless. Gradually, their temper becomes bad, and they lose trust in the people who care for them. There is no object to talk about. Over time, they will feel isolated, every day, every day, encounter physical discomfort, it is difficult to open their teeth, and lose the opportunity to treat early.
However, children also have their own families and careers, especially those who have gone abroad to study in the 1960s and 1970s. Many of them have already moved overseas, and it is difficult to return to Hong Kong frequently to take care of the elderly who are now very old. So what other ways can parents get appropriate, caring and continuous spiritual care? An occasional opportunity to meet Ms. Huang Yuhua at the Golden Age Summit, knowing that she is organizing a caring company she has created to arrange caring and professionally trained "angels" to accompany elderly people who lack children or loved ones to expand their lives. Circles, increase motivation and live at home with a positive mood.
"We call them "powered angels". They are young "friends" who have rich life experiences and love and want to give back to the society. We train them to provide spiritual care services and accompany those actions that are inconvenient or have few friends. Old man. Huang Yuhua said.
Ms. Huang has been engaged in technology and internet business for many years. She has traveled between China and Hong Kong. She fully understands that her children are busy with their careers and lack the time to accompany their parents and their families. Therefore, the social enterprise of “Power Angel” has been established to provide appropriate and sustainable. The soul care service.
What is a spiritual care service? Huang Yuhua shares with us "The Eight Steps of Spiritual Care":
(1) Listening attentively
(2) Communicating with each other
(3) Time companionship
(4) Finding and interesting
(5) Learning together
(6) Sharing together
(7) Positive and optimistic
(8) Full investment
Ms. Huang Yuhua added that in order to be able to achieve the above "eight steps", the role of the power angel is very important, so as an "angel", you must know and play. "They need different social backgrounds and different life experiences to understand the requirements of different elders, creating a pleasant environment, building trust, and interacting with the elderly. Through mutual trust and peers, everyone grows together and lives happily. This way, the children are more at ease."
"Companionship Scheme"; launched by Huang Yuhua is to provide the elderly with appropriate spiritual care, to be harmonious and harmonious in the family, to be accepted and affirmed in society, and to be able to live actively and happily in the community. She made me understand that “friends” are one of the important elements that make our elders more meaningful.
