I am coming here with the hopes that those of you that have lost their hair will help. My mother has always wore a hairpiece (a half a wig of sorts) for as long as I can remember. About 5 years ago she began to lose her hair, and now has probably lost about 80% of her hair. She is still wearing a half of a wig and it looks awful.
My family & I have tried to approach her in a variety of ways, discussing whether or not she's had the appropiate testing to determine what's going on, trying to appeal to her vanity, whatever. She just gets VERY angry at us, and that's the end of the discussion.
Is it my role to try and get her to deal with this, or does she need to have the desire in herself to want to do something about it? On the selfish side I sometimes get very anxious when I am out with her because I feel like people are staring. Please clue me in as to how I can help!
