I want people to be in the know if your mom's beginning to get dementia? But along the same lines, it's kind of dealing with pre-grief: my father-in-law walking down the stairs. I think there's another one I was thinking about, but I don't know.
Ever found yourself grappling with the complexities of caring for aging parents? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Through a Therapist's Eyes', host Chris Gazdik teams up with Adam to tackle the emotional and practical challenges that come with this significant life transition. They delve into the shifting roles between parent and child, exploring how different cultures handle this stage of life.
The conversation covers essential topics like setting boundaries, understanding the emotional toll of caretaking, and the concept of pre-grief—those feelings of loss that start even before a parent passes away. Chris and Adam also emphasize the importance of staying informed about medical issues such as dementia and maintaining the mental health of both the parent and the caretaker.
Whether you're already in the thick of this journey or just starting to think about it, this episode offers valuable advice and compassionate insights to help you navigate this challenging time.
