When families watch aging parents struggle with physical changes affecting their intimacy

Our whole family is watching my parents navigate Dad's recent stroke, and while Mom insists they're fine, we can all see how the loss of his mobility has affected their physical closeness and how isolated they both seem. None of us knows how to talk about the fact that their marriage is grieving too, not just their individual bodies, and Mom won't admit she needs support with any of it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Families often witness but cannot easily address how physical changes in aging challenge the intimate bonds between their parents.
