This is a modest attempt to explore the sad experiences of the elderly people which are not usually told to others. The author has tried to trace the sources of their unspoken anguish. Some of their anguish and sad experiences emanate from social deprivation. Still others are related to psycho-physical causes. Attempts have also been made to discuss the coping strategies of the elderly as to how they encounter, face and resolve the sad experiences of life. The author has also urged upon the need for further research on the subject. Studies on the subject may create awareness about the problem and may eventually reduce the amount of anguish our honorable elderly suffer from.
