Aging Gracefully: Some Things Many of Us Forget
Author Carolyn Brent and a Panel of Experts Share their Wisdom November 8th, 9th and 10th
These days we only have to flick on the TV to find ourselves inundated with a barrage of commercials for products that are supposed to make us look younger. All around us, we are told that getting older is something we need to hide, mask or “fix.”
But the truth is, every one of us is getting older, and the more we focus on staying young, the less attention we seem to be giving to the practical and emotional realities of the natural process aging.
Baby Boomers, once known as the “hippie generation,” are now reaching retirement age. While they are starting to have to deal with many issues around their own aging, many of them also have parents who are elderly and can no longer care for themselves. As a result, tens of millions of Baby Boomers are currently caring for their elderly, ill or dying parents. The problem is, there is very little information or support for Baby Boomers and their families, to help them deal with all the emotional, financial and legal aspects of care giving, and the inevitable death of their parents. And without this information and support, many families find themselves torn apart by financial strain, and arguments arising from frustration and confusion.
For these reasons, author Carolyn A. Brent, M.B.A. wrote her new book Why Wait? The Baby Boomers’ Guide to Preparing Emotionally, Financially and Legally for a Parent’s Death. Carolyn is a former clinical educational manager in the pharmaceutical industry. She is an activist and advocate working with the U.S. Congress for the purpose of creating change to protect seniors and veterans from financial and medical abuse.
In her book, Why Wait? Carolyn provides a comprehensive handbook for family caregivers, outlining a step-by-step process that can spare caregivers and their families the stress of conflict at a time of grieving and loss, and provide an opportunity to mend fences and renew the connection and communication they once enjoyed with each other.
The book Why Wait? is having its official Amazon launch on Tuesday November 15th. To celebrate this launch, Carolyn will be hosting a FR*EE 3-part telesummit, with a panel of experts in the field of aging and care giving on November 8th, 9th and 10th:
