Helping an aging parent decide whether and
where to move, when their current home is no longer a viable option, can
often time be fought tooth and nail by mom or dad.
Scenario: Your parent or parents
are getting older and you are discomforted by the things you see changing,
almost on a daily basis. The home, once immaculate, has become the area
in their lives for their memories and everything
that brought comfort in the past. It's subtle at first, that favorite lacy
tablecloth starts to show signs of wear, the once white fabric has yellowed
with age and bearing the obvious burden of months or more of mail, which has
been read and some unopened and unread.
Sometimes when one parent remains alone after
the death of a spouse, the problem is brought
to a head. Age is starting to creep up, and
mom or dad's reason for being no longer exists. There are no pressing
tasks calling to them, the person for whom they are responsible is no longer
there. This sometimes develops itself in depression and questioning themselves
to why they are still here and living.
As an adult child in this situation, you are
faced with an emotional challenge. You want to help without the reversal of the roles
of parent and child. You also have a life of your own, with its own demands.
Talking about what you see can set off unexpected bursts of anger.
Nobody wants to be told they can no longer hold it together or continue
to live in a home they've lived in for years.
You and the family
will need to assess the parent’s situation. There is no blueprint. You might be able to
get them involved in some activities outside the home. The more they
interact with people, the better the chance it will pull them out of the confused
situation in which they find themselves. Sometimes moving them to a
better environment helps. There are so many housing options now for an
aging population, from the active adult/55 and over communities, to the many
levels of assisted living complexes
throughout the Macomb County area of Michigan
