Being prepared for the future is one of the most important reasons to start discussions with your aging parent(s).

When you are unprepared & don't have a clear understanding of your parent’s wishes then that will cause major stress down the road.

1. REALLY LISTEN and let them guide the conversation.
If they bring up something that seems irrelevant, it's always tempting to interrupt and steer them back on track. But if you pay attention, you may find that a seemingly unrelated point brings to light a concern you weren't aware of. Encourage your parents to reminisce and pay careful attention to the story behind the story.

2. NEVER ARGUE and correct a parent with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Don’t argue or try to correct your parent. You will not win. You will not be able to convince them that your reality is the true reality. Trying to correct them only adds to their confusion. This isn’t easy to do, but it’s necessary — you must accept that when a person who has a form of dementia says something they believe to be true, it is in fact a reality for them.

3. ASK a thoughtful question instead of just “giving advice.”
If you are tempted to give advice, see if you can ask a question instead. None of us like to be told what to do, so planting a suggestion and letting your parents mull over their choices might be a more effective strategy. If you think your parent needs to hear a hard truth, (such as it might be time to give up the car) it might be better to have a third party, like a family physician, start the discussion.

Enjoy the time you have with your parents NOW by learning how to prompt these hard conversations & ENJOY THEM!

I see you and you're probably a lot like me...
..hardworking..professional woman..big heart for your family

But there's something I see everyday and that is women just like you and me who are taking their parent home from a hospital stay.

These women went from being a mom & wife to being an overnight caregiver for their aging parents.

What they don't know is that their life is about to change DRASTICALLY.

Not only will they be going between 2 households & more exhausted than ever, but they're going to be faced with some hard end-of-life decisions.

"This wasn't supposed to happen yet. It's too soon. Just yesterday mom was planting flowers & baking a cake! Now we're trying to figure out how to tell her she can't live by herself anymore."

Don't wait for this to be you. I can help you plan & be better equipped for a day like this.

I know you love your parents and want to enjoy the time you have left with them.

Send me a dm today & let's have a compassionate conversation about how you can be better prepared.

Personal development has always been heartfelt for me. I like learning how to be a better version of myself. I took this course on sales and I truly learned how to bring value to clients. However it was bigger than that. If your desire is to be polished at being of service then this is course for you. It's worth the investment.

Are you looking for mentors that only show up on social media or are you looking for mentors that reach out from their heart to see you succeed? I thought you might pick the latter. That's what most people say. Tell me what are you doing to be a part of Stupar's Inner Circle? Reach out to to network to a higher net worth

Spoke with a friend today who has life decisions to make. She's scared of the road ahead but she's knows she can do it. I know she can do it. If you knew her you would know she can do it. Believe in yourself and those you inspire 🥰
