This has been an eye-opening experience dealing with my father.
He had been handling all his affairs on his own but never gave us any information.
Our parents need to share their financial paperwork so that we can understand how to take care of them when the time comes.
We’ve already got our estate planning done and it’s all laid out for the kids when the time comes.

Jess,
I am glad that your FIL is getting help and support from his family.
My father is still in denial about getting help and thinks he can manage on his own.
Stay tuned…

Thank you for this informative post. This is something we are dealing with as my hubby’s father recently became ill and needed care. They are having pt, ot and home care assistance for him, but I know that doesnt work for everybody. I do think having family near by is so important, his sister lives 10 minutes away and can help out. The bills are done by my hubby. All of these things need consideration as we get older.
Have a great weekend, and thanks for linking!

This is a wonderfully written post filled with much needed information. Having gone through the process with all four parents within a short period of time, I understand the specifics of each point you are making. It is never the same, but so great to have guidance when stepping into this unknown stage of life. My take away is now is also the time to review our own personal details and wishes. Something we don’t like to think about, but a necessary chore to aid our children as much as possible. Just in case.

Rosemary

I am so sorry to hear about your dad Kristi.
Yes, it’s a new journey my brothers and I are taking with my father.

Thank you for your kind words.

I lost my own dad a couple of months ago. Prayers for you and your dad.

Liz,

What a wonderful daughter you are for taking care of your mother in your home!
I am sure this has been a blessing for her, but I know all the hard work you are doing on her behalf!

Thankfully, Dad has all his important papers.
But he didn’t write down any of his passwords for his accounts which have turned me and my wonderful sister-inlaw into Granny Hackers!

Hugs,
Robin

Debbie,

Thank you for your kind words about the post.
I think it’s very important to share our journeys as women over 50.
Yes, I hope you get all your paperwork and documents ready for the future.
We can still live full and happy lives by taking good care of ourselves, but we also must be prepared.

Hugs,
Robin
