Denial is Driving
At some point everybody stops driving, but how it happens is different in every story. Michelle and Alyson reveal their currently evolving story of getting their father, who has Parkinson’s disease, to stop driving. Kristine also tells us about what it took to get her mom to stop driving.
We discuss some practical approaches and offer resources which may (or may not) be helpful in getting your loved one to give up the keys.
