As we make preparations for my parents to get older with some freedom and financial protection, Mom and I periodically get stressed out and overwhelmed. One day, she threw her hands up in the air and said “ugh, why bother. Such a headache.” I said, “Yeah, I should just come over and put a pillow over your face and Dad’s.” And we laughed and laughed and laughed. I don’t know of any other family who deals with the darkness by joking about it, but laughing helps!!!
