What a great way to help mom feel good about herself all over again. Plus, the new cloths will fit her new physique better than the old ones she may have shrunk out of.
So your next action step will be to take mom shopping and buy at least one new outfit.
As a result to my encouragement, mom has recently purchased a complete new wardrobe.
So, discover what her favorite store is and plan a shopping excursion. More than likely she can afford it but if not, have the family all kick in for her new cloths. It will make everyone feel good and get mom looking her best for other social gatherings.
One word of caution. Watch out for catalog capers your mom might fall into. Hey, there is nothing wrong with catalogs as they have their place. My point is when sizes change; it is necessary for mom to try on her new wardrobe. It’s best to take her shopping plus it gets her out of the house.
If you do have to rely on catalogs, measure mom so you have a better idea on what her size is. This will help minimize returns and trips to the post office.
Taking care of an elderly parent can always be a struggle. You must devote a-lot of attention, time, and care to make them comfortable and happy. But you must also keep the stress out of your mind and your happiness in sight. Taking Care of Mom can help.
