Recognizing a Crisis: When Visiting Mom over Thanksgiving Turns into a Call for Help

Imagine this: It's Thanksgiving, and as you sit with your mom, you notice she's struggling more than you remember. She's misplacing things constantly, forgetting important appointments, and seems to have difficulty keeping her balance when she gets up from the table. Her usual pep is replaced by fatigue, and you start to wonder how long this has been going on.
