What you need to know about ageing parents--
Two hands helps
Compared to children, there are few accurate statistics about how long parents will be with their disabled child. Likely, your ageing parent is already experiencing some of the challenges that come with ageing. The fact is, no one stays young forever. As we get older, our bodies and brains begin to change. This may make it harder for you to recognize and understand your ageing parent’s needs as well as their feelings.
There are many different stages of life that all parents experience throughout their lifetime. But, as we get older, our brains and bodies slow down — which can make it harder to think, remember, and focus.
Understanding how ageing changes your brain--
The brain changes as we get older, but that doesn’t mean your ageing parent’s brain is different from yours. The brain is the only organ that never stops growing. As long as you are healthy and have regular brain activity, your brain will continue to develop and change. Healthy brains also change when we’re children. As we get older, our brains change and become less active. However, certain factors may make your brain change more quickly and become less active sooner, including Unhealthy lifestyle factors, such as smoking, drinking, and lack of sleep

It’s also normal to experience physical changes, such as Difficulties moving, such as difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or using the bathroom
Syncope is a sudden loss of consciousness and is usually caused by an underlying medical condition, such as a heart condition or low blood pressure. It can also happen as a result of ageing, no matter how healthy you are.
