So Mum has progressive MS, she is in her early 60's dx in the last year. The progression in the last year is hard to watch and has affected the whole family. I don't think she knows how it has affected all of us but it has. I still am grieving the loss of the simple things that I will never get to do again with my Mom. Go for walks, shopping just simple things. She is very angry and I get that it sucks. Really it was 20+ years of not knowing WTH was going on, grilling the drs and then bam and quick downward spiral.
Dad is her main caregiver and she can be hard on him, its showing he looks tired exhausted and honestly I am worried about his health. He tries to be there for her all the time but reality is someone has to get the mail go to the grocery store etc.
Lately she has had falls more often even with assistance of a walker. I wish she would get something like life alert, it terrifies me to know that she may fall and if Dad is out she could be down for quite a while. She is so resistant to anything, again I can see why it is having to accept and that is such a tough road to travel.
How do you help someone who isn't interested or wanting the help?
I love them both but am scared for both of them at the same time.
