Grieving for Loss is Difficult, But Necessary

Dealing with grief and loss is something everyone will have to deal with in their lives. In light of the recent attacks in Kenya, A-1 Home Care would like to remind you to stay close to your families and appreciate your loved ones. As this tragic news may stir up sensitive memories of war for some elders, it's important to keep in mind that these feelings are normal and part of the natural stages of grief. These are:

Denial

Bargaining

Depression

Anger

Acceptance

These steps may not come in order, but they are usually all present during mourning. It's important to understand that it's ok to feel angry or sad about your loved one passing. These are normal feelings. What is important is to remember the happy times with your loved ones and do your best to continue those wonderful moments with the people in your life now.

Tips on selecting an elder law Attorney/ A-1 Home Care Tustin

When mom or dad has a debilitating condition such as dementia or Alzheimer, it could be practical to hire an elder law attorney to get their affairs in order. A-1 Home Care has a few suggestions for loved ones needing such services. 

We highly recommend that you look around. Ask friends, relatives, work colleagues, another attorney, or your parent’s primary care doctor for a referral. You also can contact the senior legal services provided by your local Area Agency on Aging and ask them to recommend someone. Community legal aid agencies may be able to offer you assistance as well.

 Contact the local bar association in your community and request a referral to a professional who has experience in elder law. The attorney should be able to answer your questions in regard to planning for your parent’s long-term care. Inquire whether he or she has knowledge in the areas of estate planning, Social Security, Medicaid laws and regulations, and Durable Power of Attorney
