A woman, 47, who lives with her aging parents, who have been relatively healthy and independent until their deaths, is asking for help in providing care for her aging mother and father. Her mother was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor 30 years ago and underwent extensive surgery after it was removed, resulting in increased aggression, paranoia, erratic behavior and epilepsy. Her father, who has been her sole caretaker since her illness, is now having health concerns that need attention. The author suggests that while it's not simple, it's beneficial to acknowledge the challenges faced by caregivers who are often resistant to help.
