Beautiful Ways to Honor Aging Parents

"و قل ربي ارحمهما كما ربياني صغيرا"
My Lord, have mercy on them as they raised me when I was young

It may require silence, or count to ten, or prayer, but honor your parents or any elder with kindness is above all else.

​Be kind.

Many parents do not initiate contact. They do not want to be intrusive but rather wait patiently for you to contact them. This miscommunication often leads to a feeling of isolation and hurt for either or both parties. It can be the trigger for many passive aggressive actions and is often entirely avoidable.

​Reach out to them

Adolescents desire to be understood by their parents. More oft than not this never happens to their satisfaction. In adulthood, however, it’s time to shift the focus to understanding them. Their behavior may seem just as bizarre to you now, as yours did to them years ago. Think back to what you needed from them to feel validated and understood. Sometimes just listening and attempting to understand is enough.

​Be understanding.

​Seek their forgiveness.

No one is perfect. Ask forgiveness for your lapses or the rebellions of your past. Own your part in whatever conflicts that may have occurred between you. The humble person is a peacemaker. In fact, we must practice humility to maintain peace in our lives.
