There comes a quiet moment when you notice you are the one reminding them to take their medicine, checking the stove, driving to appointments. This is steady companionship for that shift: how to offer help without stripping away dignity, ways to navigate hard conversations about money and driving and living arrangements, and how to hold your own grief for the parent they used to be. Honest, patient, and kind.
