Synopsis

“In a new world of caring for an aging parent, the leading expert in long-term care provides a three-step framework for having difficult discussions and preparing the options ahead of time that will work best for your parent(s) and family. You owe it to yourself and loved ones to read this book!” -Betty Meredith, CFA®, CFP®, CRC®

Experience is an excellent teacher—but it can be a harsh master. We are living longer, and aging takes its toll on our ability to remain totally independent. No matter how you define "family," you will find yourself in the role of caregiver, caring for a caregiver, or being cared for by a caregiver. Life doesn't stop while you're caught up in caring and juggling your own life. With no real training for this multi-faceted, multi-generational role, you must find a path that doesn't destroy relationships or create financial havoc.

It’s Only Possible To Live Happily Ever After

According to Margaret Bonnano, it's only possible to live happily ever after on a day-to-day basis. Ms. Bonnano — best known for writing a series of "Star Trek" novels between 1985 and 2010 — proposes that life should not be considered an abstract concept. Instead her simple but poignant observations suggests it is the aggregate of how we spend each of our days. It creates our present, past, and future. Why is it that we have such a difficult time acknowledging and planning for longevity issues. It reflects the natural order of the universe. While it is never too early to plan for extended or long-term care, it is often too late. Her statement is a powerful motivator — a reminder not to waste any time.

Book Excerpt

How Not To Tear Your Family Apart

For many people, planning for extended or long-term care lacks a driving force until it’s too late. In addition to the motivators listed, the COVID-19 pandemic and images of the shortages of health and wellness services were a wake-up call for many of us.

Takeaway:

It’s really never too early to start planning, but it’s frequently too late. Use this book as a tool and commit to starting these crucial conversations today instead of tearing your family apart.
