Unsung ChangeMakers - a short film by Abhilasha Tiwari: Old age can be tough, dementia & Alzheimer's make it tougher but the toughest is to handle a sufferer of dementia with all the smiles.
All I knew about dementia and Alzheimer's was through movies, shows, articles etc and I thought I knew about it really well. But hey, the real scenario showed a completely different picture.
And what was more surprising was the job of the caregivers who are working with them 24*7. and you will .know in this video about the WHY.
Dedicated to all you unsung changemakers.

Our society rarely looks beyond the wrinkles of the aged, to see the person behind them. As someone who gave up his job, to work with the elderly, Mr.Sailesh Mishra talks of all that we owe our senior citizens. Mr. Sailesh Mishra is a social entrepreneur and Founder of Silver Innings Group, a community dedicated to senior citizens in India. He has won several awards including, the National Award.
‘Karamaveer Puraskar’ in 2008 and ‘Karmaveer Jyoti’ in 2016. His remarkable work in the field of Dementia and Elder Rights Advocacy has brought him accolades, respect and support from many renowned organizations around the world. Mr. Mishra has represented India in the United Nations in New York at ‘Open-ended Working Group on Aging for Elder Rights.’ He has also been featured in ‘Satyamev Jayate’. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
Today Nation is discussing about 86 years Narayan Lavate and his 76 years wife Iravati Lavate,
Elderly Mumbai couple who seek Presidential nod for ‘active euthanasia’.
After seeing this report in Newspaper, we were shocked, surprise and
felt sad about decision of the elder couple to die.
We at Silver Innings are working with Senior Citizens since 2008, but
this was one of its kind case for us, never had this kind of expression of
feeling.
Senior citizens in developing country like India face many challenges,
due to migration new trend of nuclear family, collapsing joint family, poverty,
no or nil government support, very few civil society or community program, lack
of regular income and old age health issues, only add stress to elders.
We decided to help this elder couple and meet them to first understand their plight,
needs and why they took this decision. We thought we could counsel them for few
times and if required with other people help we could even look after them.
It took us week time to meet them, as they were ‘busy’ meeting print
and electronic media telling their story to the nation. This was their good
chance to express their willingness for dying.
It was good to tell the nation about your problem and extreme step you
are going to take, but is it ok to get all media attention to legitimate your
right to die ?
On 20th Jan 2018, our Social Worker Ms. Mona Mishra and Consulting
Clinical Psychologist Ms. Raheen Jummani
Jaiswal, finally were able to meet Lavate couple, after visit, we felt they have taken
this decision after years of thought process and they reject any help from
anyone, they were clear they don't want to be burden to anyone, it's their life
and they have right to decide what they want and how to live.
We spend nearly one and half hour with this couple, discussing various
aspects of their life and in what way we could help them.
But sorry, they were not ready to take help.
As an organization we feel they are pointing out lack of support system
for Elders in India - social, psychological, financial, health, community
living etc
Euthanasia is not solution for normal people or people who face social
challenges, it’s debatable, but a passive can be allowed for Terminal ill
people of any age, if law of land permits.
Iam scared they might end up with suicide, government need to act soon,
and take step, An empathy government officials visit might make some inroads. Police also should see that they don't end their life.
We all need to work together to SAVE their precious life.
We also need to take urgent steps for 100 million plus Elders in India,
there should not be any situation where people take this kind of drastic decision.
Raheen Jummani Jaiswal , Clinical Psychologist at Silver Innings and Founder at Open Your
Arms Foundation says ‘We went with an intention to throw a different light on
their decision of euthanasia.'
‘After understanding their reasons and case history, we tried several
ways to help them and change their perspective. Nothing turned out to be
fruitful as they are very strong and clear about their decision.'
She adds ‘Mr. Lavate stressed two important points - What is the
purpose of our life now? and
After few years if we are bed ridden who will take care of us?
The interaction with this couple and the entire conversation made me
understand few things:
• We lack health care facilities and support system for the elderly
especially for those who are childless
• The elderly feel isolated after a certain age as the society moves
with its own pace without giving a thought on the lifes of the elders
• Our system lacks inclusion of elderly in their civic plans’
When people who have served
their entire life for the benefit of others start feeling worthless... where
are we heading????
