Description

Why Wait? The Baby Boomers’ Guide to Preparing Emotionally, Financially and Legally for a Parent’s Death addresses the crucial end-of-life issues nobody wants to discuss, but absolutely must.

There are currently over 79 million Baby Boomers in the United States alone. An estimated 13 million of them are caring for their elderly parents, with 25 percent of those parents living in the home of an adult offspring. When sudden, unexpected changes in a parent’s health occur without a clear plan for the quagmire of legal, financial, and medical decisions needed, it can tear families apart, often leaving siblings estranged and resentful for years to come. In this book, author and public speaker, Carolyn A. Brent, provides a comprehensive handbook for family caregivers, highlighting the crucial conversations siblings and their aging parents must have. She draws upon her own heartbreaking family experiences, plus exhaustive research on the subject, outlining a step-by-step process that can spare caregivers and their families the stress of conflict at a time of grieving and loss, but also an opportunity to mend fences and renew the connection and communication they once enjoyed with each other.

Carolyn A. Brent, MBA is author of the book Why Wait? The Baby Boomers’ Guide to Preparing Emotionally, Financially & Legally for a Parents’ Death, which is a guide for family caregivers and aging parents. As a speaker, she travels throughout the United States lecturing about the importance of adult siblings and parents having what she calls “crucial conversations” in preparation for the end-of-life issues they may face, so that instead of being torn apart, they can come together as a strong family. She is committed to enhancing the lives of family caregivers and their aging parents throughout the world.
