Watching a parent struggle can be difficult for anyone, but it can be especially trying when the parent refuses to accept assistance. The following is a list of things that you can do to help ease their burden and show that you care about them:
1. Donate some of your time. Informing your parent that you are available to assist them in any way, whether it be by running errands, providing assistance around the house, or simply spending time together, can be of great assistance.
2. Be respectful. It's easy to lose your cool when things don't go as planned, but it's important to keep in mind that your parents are still people who should be treated like adults. Demonstrating patience and understanding is going to get you very far.
3. Maintain an open line of communication. Have a conversation with your parent about what they are going through and how you can be of assistance to them. It may make all the difference in the world if you let them know you are there for them.
4. Seek outside assistance. Check to see if there are any community resources or professional services that can assist your parent if they are struggling with a problem related to their health or finances.
5. Be flexible. It is possible that your parents' requirements will shift over time; therefore, you should be ready to modify your assistance accordingly. The most essential thing is that you are available to them whenever they have a requirement for your assistance.

good morning God's kingdom is at hand
you are not alone it is when love is
kind love is gentle love knows no bounds
love is not critical or jealous love
does not boast it is not self-seeking
and does not exalt itself above others
it is not easily angered love does not
delight itself in evil but rejoices in
truth it always protects always trusts
always persevere love keeps no records
of wrongs or holds no grudges but warm
and tender with beck and then till death
do us a sentiment you have held true and
dear meaning every word Christ from the
foundation of you through the years you
have remained ageless in each other's
life teenagers at heart the few wrinkles
and flaws that point out are what makes
them even more attractive in your eyes
the fact is the years have passed the
kids have grown the stairs are becoming
longer the body getting tired faster
there is a saying your baby twice first
when you were born second when you are
old no one can stop it no matter how
well you eat take care of yourself no
money or worldly possessions
stop I know it breaks your heart to see
your life partner and spouse this way
the thoughts of times gone by or for
good old days only makes you fall deeper
in love and filled with a determination
to care for them the best you can no
matter the struggle and hardship your
children can see their role model of
real love and how it should be in both
of you they're trying to honor their
mother and father as it is written that
to be told you are afraid of losing your
spouse can't bear life without them
understandably through guilt of letting
your spouse down by not being there even
for a few hours in the day you have
taken on everything and reluctant to
allow anyone else assist you is this you
or perhaps due to thoughts like what if
they need me and I'm not there or no one
knows them as I do they don't know what
they like how they like it for example
how they like the toast and coffee or
tea and so on it's so caring I
understand a bond like yours is hard to
break and even harder to come by God
knows you are highly blessed to have
found your spouse and live the life you
have and may I add the life you still
are living and yet to live don't feel
guilty but appreciate the life you have
had the great children whomever flaws
and they could be many and the
foundation you have instilled now they
too have a duty to their children to
show their children how to care and the
family you have helped build this can
only be done by assisting you in helping
you
for your spouse don't worry you are
still and will always remain the primary
caregiver don't worry you see what
they're trying to do is with you and
your spouse in mind their plea to help
you is not because they feel you are
unable to but from a place of love for
the both of you just as you can't stand
to see your spouse in this way they
can't stand to see you two going through
this so tired and you and your spouse in
this way it is all from a place of love
and nobody is trying to remove you from
being the primary camp I know it is
extremely hard for you to ask for help
especially your generation like to take
everything on get it done by yourself
yes I will struggle through I will get
it done
you've even probably been called a
stubborn so-and-so and God knows what
else we won't go into it when it comes
to asking for help you are yes you can
be stubborn but to us and it shall be
given unto you there is no shame in
asking for help we all need it I'm sure
you have told your children this many
times but now it's your time to practice
what you preach correct me if I speak
out of turn but there are some concerns
you are unable to voice to your children
or your family or anyone for that matter
concerns such as not wanting to be a
burden great you see the thing is you
are not about you will never ever be a
especially to your children the thing is
they may not know what it is but you are
concerned about or not talking about or
keeping private to yourself but they can
see it in your eyes and your actions
fear not the word says cast all your
burdens upon me for I care for you I
will never leave you nor forsake you the
most excellent way is below and you are
highly highly blessed to have found such
a lot that's your sense but your
children are equally blessed to have
found such parents caring parents as
yourself
you are not only and love never ever
love never plans to the child or the
children or anyone whose kindest best of
Hammond's with caring who is caring for
us I would say understand but they do
not want to be separated or put into a
care home or even losing their home and
everything they all do you see accepting
help can be a self admittance failure to
them and their snaps they don't want to
be a burden to this generation yeah they
can be stubborn but what do you pause
for dude pause so I would say approach
with extreme care take everything very
slowly for example start off by taking a
walk to the shops together all of you if
they are real you take a taking a walk
together to the shops to get milk for
example making excuses to get milk or
just to get some fresh air
and if they can't walk then I would
suggest maybe cooking together or
talking about what he or she was like
when they were young you'll find that
engaging them in this way will brighten
them up and open their minds up to even
talking about other things in depth
which they hold dear which they are
which they are confining within their
hearts they will open up and you know
let out a couple of secrets you you
would have never thought about and if
they can't do that then I would suggest
maybe gardening can be in one way it
also gives you an opportunity to spend a
whole lot more time in the outdoors and
if you can maybe you can't garden at the
moment you will definitely learn
skills or maybe coffee or tea out eating
out then moving on to something much
more difficult which you will not find
them but they may find difficult I can
you can suggest for example that you can
stay at home and look after your mom or
dad
while they popped out to the shops to
get milk for instance if that is not a
problem
at this stage I would probably have to
get creative in crafting
wink wink with a cheeky smile before
embarking on the biggest dance where
they have to go out for a longer period
of time with the craftiness I wouldn't
usually suggest it but in this occasion
- well for example hiding a bottle of
milk so that they would have to go out
and get a bottle of milk or perhaps
getting bread as an example but you can
work creatively I know you can but do
reassure them at every critical stage
and take that you are not taking over
the welfare systems you are providing
you are not taking over and that is not
your motive
you are only there merely to spend time
with them together and to the parent who
is reluctant to get versus of things I
would say do open because your children
do need you and they can see the
struggle but they they do want to help
you and they're not trying to take over
they're only trying to assist you and
this is the only way but they know
to spend time working with both of you
and to assist you from much much longer
period of time I know you a children can
never love you more than you love them
although they would like to challenge
you on that just as you loved you hands
way to do love you very very dearly
don't deny them don't deny them that
which allows them to spend time with
both while longer along the Puritan
wildly and finally just put each other's
thoughts at heart an approach with
discretion because love never fails and
you both you all love each other very
very much
and love never fails no amount of money
can buy and you are so so blessed to
have found such love on God's green
earth you you knew
