I don't mean physically, but emotionally - rather than mentally. I shall make sure to include my dad in daily activities and just help him out with the house, shopping, etc.

But how do I encourage him to go out and socialize more? It must be very lonely for him with no partner in his life. His computer is his world: but it is lonely, too. I have decided to invite him out with my sister and myself more often.

I don't want to see my dad grow old and lonely.

Hi MissCandyGirl,

Sorry to hear that you are concerned about your father. We do have an interesting article here that may be of interest to you;

Hopefully some other members may have some good advice for you also.

What is your father's interest? Perhaps you can find an event online related to his interest and go together with him there and socialize there. It's always fun to meet someone who shares the same interest as you so i think your dad would love that. Although with covid going on, perhaps when's it's over you can do this!
