Those I know personally have been impacted by COVID19. So I'm doubling down on the need to have things in place such as a living will. I encourage you go listen or relisten to Episode 7 where Cameron Huddleston and I discuss living wills and other items we should have in place for our parents' lives and our own. The impact of COVID-19 highlights why these things are important.

Episode 8- Planning Your Future With Your Only Child In Mind With Dr. Barbara Darby, Part 1

Being an only child has its perks. But life gets REAL as an ADULT only child when you fully grasp the prospect of having to balance your own life with sole responsibility for assisting your parents as they age. Caregiving can place strains on your family, career, and mental and physical health. Siblings can tackle this as a team. But as an only child, how will you handle the stress of bearing sole responsibility for financial decisions, hospital visits and/or emergencies of aging parents? Join me every two weeks to discuss ways to create and maintain a prosperous, healthy life for yourself while adequately preparing for your parents’ lives at retirement and beyond.
