How to make 88yo mom happy about losing her right to drive, as she's forgetful now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That's a tall order: Emphasize the benefits to her: preventing property damage or injuries to herself and others are a few that come to mind. She'll do better if she focuses on what she can do rather than on what she's lost. It's inconvenient to make a change but nothing to get depressed about.
