Sitting down with your parent and trying to open a conversation about how they are managing can be tricky. Try making a list of things they are struggling with together and let them take the lead. Offer some solutions, maybe a cleaner or a gardener will take the pressure off. Start slowly, and try to imagine how scary it must feel to have to face the fact that you are not coping as well as you used to.
Above all, be patient.
