Are You Ready for Aging Parents?

Your parents are aging. Are you ready for it? Many of us live our lives, focusing on family, work, and passions, unaware that a life-changing storm is coming. Reflecting on my own experience, the flood analogy feels fitting: sudden, overwhelming, and often devastating.

Are you prepared for the emotional and physical chaos that can come with caring for aging parents? While we can’t predict exactly when or how it will hit, the key takeaway is to take steps now to prepare. Whether it’s planning ahead or seeking advice, or just having a conversation, small actions today can help you weather the storm. We have heard from professionals in the space, the sooner we begin these conversations, the better it is for ALL of us. Even if we do not do it well, start talking. In our book, we have tips on how to have these conversations and what we have learned in the process.
