Control and Trust

I am currently, or should I say that my sisters and I are dealing with an aging parents who has issues. Many of these issues deal with control of her life. AS she ages, she has less and less control. Now add health issues into the mix and you have even more control issues beyond her or our control.
When it comes our mom, she can be frustrating, she's been emotionally hurt many times in her life that she can't trust those around her and needs to feel constantly in control. So right now, after her latest round of minor surgery she's feeling out of control and complete lack of trust with medical situation. Normally I feel like I'd continue to treat her like an adult here. It's her life and she should live it. But now it's threatening her health and we feel we seriously need to intervene.
