You Don’t Need to Give Up Your Independence
Oct 13, 2016 by Jeneen Sasso
There are several key moments as we age that symbolize our growing independence. When we get our first car, going to college and not living under the roof of our parents, our first real job, buy a home, starting a family and so on. These are important because as we experience each moment, our confidence in our independence grows. Eventually we go from being a child to being a fully independent, self-sufficient adult. We no longer need the help of our parents or others, we are able to do things completely alone.
The more we age however, the more the things that used to become a commonplace are suddenly much harder to do. Your children are now off and experiencing their own moments of independence. Meanwhile you find that driving is a tougher task than it was before. You’ve retired after a lifetime of working and just getting up the stairs of your home is more of a challenge than you ever thought it would be. That independence we have become accustomed to is not something we are able to experience with such ease. However, you’re in the stage where moving to a group home is not something you deem as necessary. You still are fully capable of doing many things and giving up your home that you’ve worked so hard for is not an idea that you are willing to consider yet. While you also may not be totally welcomed to the idea, some extra help couldn’t hurt. Enter, Comfort Keepers.
