I'm so excited to be talking with Amanda Kirilenko of Cadence Senior Living in Kent, WA about this topic! We encounter so many families who feel guilty about moving their parents from home to senior living. Why is it so hard and how will we feel someday when it's our time?

I'm usually your host... but in this episode I'm sharing my story which took place long before I worked in senior living. My brothers and I watched as our father succumbed to his illness which caused dementia and hallucinations but didn't take away his sense of humor. I'm also really excited to welcome guest host Max Oppenheimer. Thanks Max, for helping me tell my story.

Sometimes...really great things can happen after the interview is over. You may remember Adrienne Glusman from our Family Talk interview about caregiving at a young age. After the interview, Adrienne and I found ourselves sharing our experience with loss and grief. I thought....this deserves it's own episode.
For resources on grief as well as the article that Adrienne talks about...check out our doable download.
