Hi,
Just curious how you would handle a 92-year old man, whose also blind, that has become obsessed with his mail. He's 92, only 2 things come that matter, 1099's and property taxes, all the rest aren't even bills.
He just worries and frets that something is gonna be there and we'll miss it. "I'm just a worry wart". Damn I'm sick of that excuse.
Anyways, any tricks to deflect it? I can't seem to assuage it and my patience isn't great to begin with.
There are times when we need to step into our parent's shoes to view life from their side. Then and only then will be understand why they do the things they do [except when memory issues are in play].
Good luck
I bet that since he is blind, his other senses are heightened.
So, be careful with your tone of voice as you speak to him. He will know if you are brushing him off.
Anyways, appreciate the responses.
