Virginia Morris, a medical journalist for decades, describes caring for aging parents as a continuum of decisions. Just because the “paperwork” is in place and you “know” what your parent wants, it doesn’t prepare you for when the time comes.

End of life is a place you get to, but the path is not straight and the lines are often blurred. In today’s episode, we discuss:

• the exploitation of the elderly
• how hard this period of your life is, no matter how prepared you are
• the hard questions you should ask
• what you should make time to do
