Is My Aging Parent Depressed, Tired, Grieving, or Done?

Описание: Is your aging parent suddenly refusing to celebrate the holidays they used to love? 😔 If you're watching them stare at old photos, talk about "the old days," or say "it's just not the same anymore," you're not imagining things—and you're not alone. This is holiday grief, and it's more common in elderly parents than most people realize.
In this video, I'll help you understand why your parent has changed, how to tell if it's grief or depression, and what you can actually do to support them without burning yourself out. 💙 You'll learn the difference between normal sadness and warning signs that need a doctor, plus simple ways to be present without trying to "fix" their feelings.
