Dealing With Denial

Advice Seeker: Dear April,

I'm caring for my elderly mother and it's becoming increasingly more difficult as time goes by. She's in denial about how ill she is and how much care she actually needs. This is a problem because she just doesn't seem to understand that she needs my help and is extremely reluctant to allow me to help her. Do you have any suggestions for how I can deal with my mother's denial?

Sincerely,

Denial is More Than Just a River
