Why Wait? The Baby Boomers' Guide to Preparing Emotionally, Financially, and Legally for a Parent's Death

by Dr. Carolyn A. Brent

Overview

There are currently over 79 million Baby Boomers in the United States alone. An estimated 13 million of them are caring for their elderly parents, with 25 percent of those parents living in the home of an adult offspring. When sudden, unexpected changes in a parent's health occur without a clear plan for the quagmire of legal, financial, and medical decisions needed, it can tear families apart, often leaving siblings estranged and resentful for years to come.

In this book, author and public speaker, Carolyn A. Brent, provides a comprehensive handbook for family caregivers, highlighting the crucial conversations siblings and their aging parents must have. She draws upon her own heartbreaking family experiences, plus exhaustive research on the subject, outlining a step-by-step process that can spare caregivers and their families the stress of conflict at a time of grieving and loss, but also an opportunity to mend fences and renew the connection and communication they once enjoyed with each other.

Reviewed by The American Library Association
Book Review: Like a good coach, Brent (The Caregivers Companion, 2015) inspires action. At 61, she is a buff, beautiful bodybuilder who transformed her life by leaving a cheating spouse, going to the gym, controlling her spending, and eating healthy food. She wants to empower others to follow in her disciplined footsteps. In her how-to guide, each chapter focuses on a different area, such as exercising or developing a meal plan, and includes questions, such as: Are you eating foods that are laced with preservatives, GMOs, and other harmful chemicals; She offers a surprising amount of health advice for an MBA, though usually pretty basic. Skeptics may roll their eyes when she talks about eating to blood type" or when she tells them they need to live in their own divine light; But she also quotes the Chinese saying, If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody. Brents positive, inspiring messages about self-love, giving back, and rejoicing should resonate with many. -- Booklist
