Honoring Your Aging Parent

There are some things in life you simply can’t be fully prepared for. Supporting your parent through the ups and downs of aging is certainly one of those things. It is likely that they are dealing with new emotions, losses, and, in some cases, mounting fear about the future. As you support them through this delicate time, avoid saying “I know” when they have the courage to express their emotions to you. Be careful to “partner” with them on key tasks rather than “taking over,” and never compare their situation to others as each person’s aging journey is unique.
