Eldercare resource agencies and websites offer information on adult day care, assisted living, transportation, and more. Harder to find is help on coping with fear, anger, and grief from changing relationship with your elderly parent. If it is difficult to accept an elderly parent's forgetfulness, dependency, frailty, depression, and inability to perform small tasks, you may benefit from short-term counseling. The parent's admission to a nursing home can add dramatically to this "acceptance stress." Frustration, denial, and guilt can lead to lack of empathy for an elderly person's diminishing capacity, or you can find yourself short on patience for your parent's limitations. Aging parents are a reminder that the vibrant health and wellness part of our lives is finite. Your organization's EAP or a local area agency on aging can lead you to a support group for coping during this emotional period, or try a resource.
