How do you serve your mother when she becomes old
Answers
ne day, our parents won't be able to drive, to climb stairs, or maybe even change their own clothes or feed themselves. As painful as thinking about this might be, we need to prepare to help them be comfortable and safe in their last stages of their lives. Here are the things to consider.
No one wants to think about their parents at the end of their days, much less talk about it. In fact, 75% of adults haven't had an in-depth discussion with their parents about things like living arrangements in retirement, long-term care, inheritance, and funeral wishes, according to a study by Merrill Lynch and Age Wave. But it's not just we adult children who are avoiding the "big talk"—nearly a third of people ages 50 and up haven't even had such discussions with their spouse yet.
It's the elephant in the room. It's also one of the most important, difficult subjects you and your family will ever face. Sadly, your parents could one day be fine and then suddenly the next day need a great amount of care, so the more prepared you are in advance, the less stressful this might be for your whole family.
