Communication
- Our Realtor suggests that we move my mother's things out of her home before we place her home up for sale, but my mother isn't comfortable making a move until her house is sold, what should I do?
- Whenever I bring up the subject of moving, my mother just “shuts me down” by telling me she’s not going to talk about it. Is there something else I can do to engage her in conversation?
- My brother is sabotaging my efforts to get my father to move out of his home. Every time I think dad is going to move, my brother steps in and says something dumb like, “Dad, I just worry about you having to move…” or “maybe you could spend one more summer in your home.” What can I do to combat this or how can I get my brother to shut up?
- I called and spoke to one of your Advisors. She really helped clarify things for me, and she’s shown me three great options for my mother. Now I’m feeling guilty that I’ve been researching options behind my mother’s back. What can I do to not upset her?
- My mother was willing to visit the places that CHOICE suggested. I’m glad to say she was pleasantly surprised. She’s even contemplating the move now. There’s one thing she keeps saying, and that’s “I don’t really want to live around all of those old people.” She’s 87 herself. What do I say to her?
