[quote=Anonymous]It’s a hard, hard piece of independence to give up. With my dad we appealed to his financial sense that an accident could wipe out his assets as well as his emotional sense as he’s in an area with lots of children and he was aware that his reflexes were the issue. Injuring a child would have destroyed. He’s now gone and we’re at a similar point with my mom. Again we’ve gone the finances route and reminded her that a lawsuit could take all she has (she knows she needs her house as it’s her only large asset) We’ve also explained that not paying car expenses and insurance frees up substantial money for Uber fare so she’s not breaking her bank (she says fares are too $$) Grocery delivery has been a physical gift because she can put items away just fine but the mechanics of shopping are tough. We’ve also relied heavily on her neighbor and local niece to help with errands and they’ve been amazing[/quote]
