Dealing with an aging parent is part of the challenges and blessings that are part of the cycle of life. For most of us, a natural part of the cycle of life is when our
roles as children start to shift from that into caretaking roles where our
parents are concerned. This can be as major as moving a parent into a
retirement facility, or coming to the realization that it's necessary to
check in with them more often than usual. Whatever the case, such a shift is
momentous as it signals a time of confronting our own mortality as we
confront that of our parents. In addition, it can bring up issues about how
well they cared for us when we were young. We may also find ourselves
consumed with fear at the thought of losing them, even if we've been on our
own for a very long time. |
