When a loved one seems to be needing care, we can either step into the role of caregiver, delegate the responsibility, or let nature take its course without intervention. Clear communication is essential to creating and maintaining harmony as you undertake the many difficult conversations that will need to be held as your loved one's physical, cognitive, and emotional wellness change. Taking the keys to the car, end-of-life and healthcare wishes, moving to a safer home, creating a care team, and more are common awkward discussions. We know that these heart-to-heart conversations can sometimes feel as nerve-wracking as a rollercoaster ride. The When Can We Talk guidebook equip you with what to say in a non-confrontational way which will give you the confidence and know-how to make all of these talks less hair-raising.

I'll Be Right There is a guidebook for adult children caring for their aging parents-during what can be an emotionally charged and challenging time.
