They don’t give you a handbook when your mom or dad isn’t safe to live alone any longer…
This is what a family member recently said to me and while a complete handbook would be way more involved than this podcast episode…and probably not even possible… I’m going to share insights from families just like yours and give you some tips for creating your own handbook to hopefully help make your journey a little more doable.
