“Counseling Corner”
When It’s Time To Have “That Talk” With An Aging Parent
Special to the Ledger
from the American
Counseling Association
It’s an increasingly
common situation that
many families face. Im
proved health care and
healthier lifestyles have
many people living well
into their 70s, 80s and
beyond. And while many
of these folks may be in
relatively good health,
it’s natural that their
children begin to worry
that their aging parents
can no longer care for
themselves as well as
they once did.
Such situations can
result in a variety of
emotionally-laden deci
sions that require family
discussions.
It can often be ex
tremely difficult to dis
cuss, never mind reach
decisions, about issues
such as where elderly
parents should live, what
health services are need
ed, current financial situ
ations, wills and estate
planning, the surrender
ing of a driver’s license
and related topics.
But, while such dis
cussions with an aging
parent may be difficult,
they are necessary. And
there are ways to make
such talks less prone to
disagreement and more
apt to lead to productive
results.
Start by picking a time
and place for important
conversations that will
make your parent feel
comfortable.
A big help in hold
ing useful discussions
is to speak in a way
that avoids judgmental
“you” statements, such
as, “Dad, you have to
accept....” Instead, talk
about what you feel and
think about an issue,
rather than taking the
position that what you
believe is correct while
your parent’s views are
simply wrong.
It’s vital that you re
spect your parent’s right
to argue and disagree.
Listen to your parent’s
feelings, views and
ideas, especially when
the subject involves
major decisions. Realize
that your job is to offer
advice and support, not
to dictate how things
“must” be. It helps for
you to see how difficult
it may be for a parent to
admit that he or she is
becoming limited and
less capable.
You might also include
someone you and your
parent mutually trust,
but don’t make your
parent feel he or she is
being ganged up on.
Accept that reaching
necessary decisions may
take time. See initial
discussions as door
openers, chances to get
the process started.
It’s emotionally diffi
cult for parent and child
when an aging parent

False! You do not have
to be a LT.S. citizen to
qualify for Social Secu
rity retirement benefits.
Resident aliens who pay
into the Social Secu
rity system may qualify
to receive retirement
benefits, assuming they
earn enough credits and
meet additional criteria.
To become part of the
Social Security system,
can no longer handle
daily life on his or her
own. Holding effective
discussions on changes
to be made can be much
more productive, and
far less traumatic, than
simply trying to dictate
decisions. If extra help is
needed, seek out a pro
fessional counselor who

Final decisions about
Social Security filing
strategies always rest
with you and should
always be based on
your specific needs and
health considerations. It
is important to acquire
as much information
as possible in order to
make an informed Social

after the Social Secu

is made, it cannot be
