Help when caring for elderly parents 

 

 

Support for Children Caring for Elderly Parents

I serve adult children who are caretakers for their elderly parents, and who soon realize it is one of the most difficult times of their life.

In spite of being articulate, responsible, and open-minded, they discover that they can’t always resolve issues their parents face like they can in other areas of their life. They are willing to set goals and take action to accomplish them, but it’s hard to know where to start when caring for elderly parents.

"Your coaching has been an invaluable help to me. I feel so relieved… like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I am coping much better with my father and he and I are getting along better. Thank you!”

~ Dan R.

 

“Sometimes it’s just overwhelming.”

Most of my clients come to me feeling overworked and dumped on by other family members. They are worn out, stressed out, burned out and generally overwhelmed. They feel pushed aside as all attention becomes focused on the problems of their aging parents.

Their comments typically include:

“I’m really concerned about my dad’s health, hygiene, safety, and ability to drive.”

“The geographical distance makes it hard to keep up with how mom is really doing.”

“He gets so defensive whenever I try to discuss important topics. Things like money, wills, powers of attorney, live-in help, assisted living, selling their home, or relocating.”

“I’m the designated caretaker, but I can’t discuss my concerns with other family members.”

“I feel angry, guilty, dumped on, trapped, stuck and alone in this dilemma.”

“It feels like there’s no room in my life for me!”

“I would give anything to be able to talk with someone who can be objective and really listen.”

Does any of that sound familiar?

Is the timing right for you?

Clients come to me because they don’t want to give up. Instead they reach out and seek objective help from a trained professional who can help them find the way through a very difficult time as they are caring for elderly parents.

Instead of facing it alone, they are receptive to gaining new perspectives on the problems they face. They are open to experienced advice and trying different ways of dealing with those for whom they care.
