In my role at Vernon Physical Therapy and Wellness I work with many seniors. It is a blessing and an honor to support and encourage them as they try to sort out physical limitations, balance issues, and chronic pain. We are all going to be there one day...looking in the mirror and not being able to justify the body we see with the one our mind remembers.
Please show them patience and grace. Help them find new ways to do things and help them believe they can...I Do!!!

"When you become frustrated with older people because of what they cannot do, think of how frustrated they must feel because they can no longer do it."

It's easy to feel a surge of frustration when an older loved one struggles with tasks that once seemed simple for them.
Watching them grapple with technology, forgetful moments, or physical limitations can test our patience. However, in these moments, it's essential to remember that our frustration is but a shadow of what they must be experiencing internally.

In the grand tapestry of life, the roles we play often shift. Today, we may be the ones offering support; tomorrow, we might find ourselves in need of it.
By approaching our older loved ones with empathy, we honor their journey and enrich our own, creating a legacy of compassion that transcends generations.
