He missed a stop sign on Cermak. He came home from a short trip looking confused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She tried to bring it up. He shut her down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI am fine. I have been driving for sixty years.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She tried again. He got angry. They did not speak for a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The third time, she did something different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She did not say, \u201cYou need to stop driving.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She said, \u201cDad \u2014 what would you miss most if you couldn&#8217;t drive? Help me understand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He thought for a long moment. He said, \u201cI would miss going to see my brother on Sundays. I would miss going to the bakery for the bread your mother used to like.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She wrote those things down. She said, \u201cOkay. Then we are going to make sure you keep going to your brother and to the bakery. That is the goal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Two weeks later, he handed her the keys himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>So What:<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The trial lawyer Jefferson Fisher teaches something important. He says: in a hard talk, do not pull on the rope. Find the knot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The knot in the driving talk is not the keys. The knot is the world the keys give them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/148\/illinois\/westchester\/services\/senior-in-home-care\/\">Independence<\/a>. Friendship. Identity. The bakery on Saturday. The brother on Sunday. The mail on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take away the keys without naming the world, and you will lose the talk. Name the world first, and you will keep them \u2014 and one day, they may even hand the keys to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The honorable conversation is the one we keep having until it lands.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2>Now What:\u00a0 Try this\u2026<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, if you have a driving talk to start, try this opener instead of the usual one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhat would you miss most if you couldn&#8217;t drive? Help me understand.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then listen. Write down what they say. Don&#8217;t argue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After you understand the world they want to keep, you can plan together. The bakery becomes Wednesday with you. The brother gets a ride from a neighbor. The mail becomes a stop on your way home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is not a one-time talk. It will take three or four. That is normal. Each one gets a little closer.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/aaafoundation.org\/research\/rates-motor-vehicle-crashes-injuries-deaths-relation-driver-age-united-states-2014-2015\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety<\/a> reports that crash rates per mile climb after age 75 and rise more sharply after assistinghands.com\/80\/148\/illinois\/westchester\/services\/alzheimers-and-dementia-care\/&#8221;&gt;dementia<\/a>, the Alzheimer&#8217;s Association recommends evaluation when any new signs of disorientation appear behind the wheel.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Weekly Moment of Beauty:<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When my grandfather finally handed over his car keys, he kept them in a small dish on his dresser.
