"Managing Unexpected Visits from Aging Parents with Grace"

An individual struggles with setting boundaries for their elderly parents' unannounced visits and seeks advice on how to say no without feeling guilty. Another person grapples with the decision of holding a funeral or memorial service for their wife with dementia, whose family and friends have been largely absent. Advice is given to articulate and maintain boundaries kindly and to consider a service as a healing opportunity and a celebration of life for those who may not have been present during the illness.
