Beth, as the son of a PWP, I want to put your mind a little at ease. When dad was first diagnosed, he did not seem to have many symptoms, so we acted like nothing was wrong, as much as possible, and let him feel like he was in control 100%. As his symtoms progressed, my two sisters and I have tried to be as involved as possible in doing whatever we can to ease his discomforts. PArt of it is denial, no one wants to watch their loved ones lose their vitality, and their health, but much of it really has more to do with not pushing ourselves into the situation prematurely. We want to do what is right and needed, as most children would want to do. I am sure that is the case most of the time.
