4、n be “one of the most difficult challenges adult children will ever face,“ says Clarissa Green, a Vancouver therapist. “People often tell me they dont want to raise sensitive issues with their parents about bringing in caregivers or moving,“ she says. “Theyll say, I dont want to see Dad cry.“ But Gr

5、een usually responds, “Whats wrong with that?“ Adult children, she says, need to try to join their parents in grieving their decline, acknowledge their living arrangements may on longer work and, if necessary, help them say goodbye to their beloved home. “Its sad.

10、stions and options gently, but frankly. However, many middle-aged adults, according to the specialists, just muddle (应付 ) through with their aging parents. When the parents of Nancy Woods of Mulmur Hills, Ont., were in their nfid-80s, they made the decision to downsize from their large family home t

11、o an apartment in Toronto. As Woodss parents, George and Bernice, became more frail, she believed they knew she had their best interests at heart. They agreed to her suggestion to have Meals on Wheels start delivering lunches and dinners. However, years later, after a crisis, Woods discovered her pa

12、rents had taken to throwing out the prepared meals. Her dad had appreciated them, but Bernice had come to believe they were poisoned. “My father was so loyal,“ says Woods, “he had hid that my mother was overwhelmed by paranoia (偏执狂 ).“ To her horror, Woods discovered her dad and mom were “living on

13、crackers and oatmeal porridge“ and were weakening from the impoverished diet. Her dad was also falling apart with the stress of providing for Bernice a common problem when one spouse tries to do everything for an ailing partner. “The spouse whos being cared for might be doing well at home,“ says Spe

14、ncer, “but often the other spouse is burned out and ends up being hospitalized.“ Fortunately, outside help is often available to people struggling through the often-distressing process of helping their parents explore an important shift. Sons and daughters can bring in brochures or books on seniors

15、issues, as well as introduce government health-care workers or staff at various agencies, to help raise issues and open up discussions, says Val MacDonald, whose nonprofit organization responds to thousands of calls a year from British Columbians desperate for information about how to weave through

16、the dizzying array of seniors services and housing options.

She read sections of the book to her dad and asked him, “Who does that sound like?“ Her father replied, “Its Mother. Its dementia (痴呆

He took it on the chin (忍受痛苦 ).“ Woods regrets that she “had not noticed small details signalling Moms dementia.“ But

21、 shes satisfied her dad accepted his passage into a group residence, where he and his wife could stay together in a secure unit where staff were trained to deal with patients with dementia. “From the moment they moved into the Toronto nursing home, their physical health improved. On the other hand,

22、it was the beginning of the end in terms of their mental abilities. Perhaps they couldnt get enough stimulation. Perhaps it was inevitable.“ After my father died in 2002, the grim reality of my mothers sharply declining memory set in starkly. With her expanding dementia, Mom insisted on staying in h

23、er large North Shore house, even though she was confused about how to cook, organize her day or take care of her self. For the next three years we effectively imposed decisions on her, most of them involving bringing in caregivers, including family members. In 2005 Mom finally agreed, although she b

24、arely knew what was happening, to move to a nearby nursing home, where, despite great confusion, she is happier. As Spencer says, the sense of dislocation that comes with making an important passage can be “a very hard adjustment for a senior at the best of times. But its worse if its not planned no
