Important Conversations About the Difficult Caregiving Disputes
We do everything we can and, yet, it can still be a nightmare.
I read an article in The New York Times Magazine on Friday night that I continue to think about. The article, A Mother Who Changed: A Story of Dementia, profiles two sisters who battle their mother’s boyfriend over who can make financial and caregiving decisions for their mother.
As you can imagine, it’s an absolute nightmare.
It’s such an awful experience that I decided we should get together to talk about it. I’d love for you to join me on Wednesday, May 31, at 1 p.m. ET (Noon CT, 10 a.m. PT) for a facilitated discussion. We’ll talk about the story, the challenges we encounter during caregiving and what steps we can take to prevent these kinds of heart-breaking situations. Register to join me for Disruptive Dynamics, Difficult Disputes and Caregiving: A Conversation about the Reality on May 31 at 1 p.m. ET (Noon CT, 10 a.m. PT).
If you can’t join us live, still register to so you receive a link to our archive as I’ll record our meeting.
Before joining our May 31st meeting, please read the story.
I look forward to connecting with you on May 31.
I read the article too. I am from Iowa. Incredible. So much confusion and battle and waste. Hard to tell who the "villain" was and who was genuinely trying to help. So common for so many families. I am estranged from my sister after moving my mom to memory care. Lots of contention and handling all the medical, legal, financial matters is time consuming and emotional and frustrating.
