Discover the lessons I learned from healing my dad of his stroke twice, a major event at age 83 and another at 88. A stroke can happen at any time, even early in your 30s or 40s, and can change your life outcome in an instant. https://scientifichealer.com/emotional

A stroke falls into two major categories, a bleed or a clot. It can happen on the surface of the brain or deep into the limbic brain. Each type has different consequences.

They both have the same things in common. It affects motor coordination, speech, memory, and can even alter personality, depending on where the stroke occurs.

Many of the tips outlined here also apply to caring for your elderly relatives.

The elderly resist help: resistance must be overcome.

For both my parents, when they hit their 80s, they were both extremely resistant to outside help. They wanted me or one of my siblings to do all the heavy lifting, something none of us are qualified to do. Aside from that, we are all in our sixties.
