Tech-Savvy Touring: Travel Tips for the Active Over 50's

Come join me on an enlightening journey as I converse with the remarkable Jeannie Gormick, bestselling author and renowned speaker. As we wade through her acclaimed 10-seasons of relationship and marriage workshop, our focus sharpens on one unique season - the triple-decker sandwich generation. This phase embodies the struggles of juggling an aging parent, one’s own life, and children, a subject that resonates deeply with many.
Navigating our way through the labyrinth of intricate topics, we broach upon the gravity of estate planning and promoting open communications within families. We dissect the intricate responsibilities of an executor while emphasizing the respect and dignity that our elderly deserve. Drawing from my personal experiences, I share eight tips to facilitate conversations with aging parents. Furthermore, we delve into the vital role siblings play in addressing these often challenging and sensitive discussions.
A central theme that runs through our conversation is the importance of preparing children for the inevitable arrival of their grandparents' old age. The need for a family conference is stressed upon, underscoring the significance of a united sibling front prior to addressing their parents. Topics on wildlife safety and the imperative need for cautious driving in areas densely populated with deer also find their way into our discussion. We hope that our conversation serves as a poignant reminder to honor and respect the wildlife that coexists with us. Join us, as we meander through these challenging conversations with grace, understanding, and empathy.
Reflecting on my own week, I had my share of ups and downs – from a torn rotator cuff and a bout of physical therapy to a refreshing trip to Vegas to meet Annette, my dear friend.
