請問:您有幾個老伴?「老伴」在銀髮族的世界裡佔了非常重要的地位,因為,兒女們忙碌的忙碌,離家的離家,身旁是否有幾位談得來的陪伴者成了不可忽略的事。過去,「老伴」是指婚姻關係裡的配偶,是孩子的爹娘,如今,社會價值觀在演變,加上老年喪偶的情形也不在少數,「老伴」應該擴大為泛指可以「老來作伴」的親朋好友,不再單指家中的老夫老妻。銀髮族一定要走出家門、走進社區、參與社會的脈動,更重要的是去結交「老伴」,哪些人可能成為你的老伴呢?



1. 原生家庭的兄弟姊妹;


2. 家中的兒女和孫姪輩的年輕人;


3. 過去的同事、同學;


4. 社區的鄰居;


5. 成長課室的學員;


6. 宗教團體的教友;


7. 來探望的社工員或志工。


建議您花個 5 分鐘,列下您目前相處中「老伴」的數目,如果至少有 20 位,表示您的銀髮生涯「非常充實」。如果至少有 10 位,表示您的銀髮生涯「相當充實」。如果只有 5 位左右,那麼一定要有危機意識,因為支持網絡越薄弱,銀髮生涯「不夠充實」,日益退縮的日子也就不遠了。

「每天早上醒來,想到大伙兒要去『玩』,就是很開心!」一位過去非常「黏」老妻的銀髮伯伯,終於聽從老妻的建議,參加「吃喝玩樂派」社團,他笑呵呵地說:「我的生活一下子多了 20 多個好朋友,幾乎都是夫妻檔,今天去爬山,明天去看畫展,後天去吃民間小吃,大家輪流安排,錢又不用花費很多,生活變得充實多了。」

原來,「老伴」是多多益善,因為每個人都有不同的人生歷練和生活智慧,當彼此擦出生命的火花時,那種笑聲、招呼聲和分享的話語,在在刺激著身心的活力哩! 記住哦!「老伴」不能只有一個!看看四周吧!誰是您要收編的「老伴」呢?

B71 #45: Sad news about 葉錦明 IP Kam Ming

While David Yau keeps updating our memory with his photos in Posts #43 & #44, I am sorry to break the sad news that one of our U-mates, 葉錦明 IP Kam Ming, passed away in Australia in 2005.

He was in the Biology group while in HKU. I recall that I last saw him live and healthy in Hong Kong in July 2005.
