In 2016 I left my business and life in New York/Connecticut to move to Florida. My mission was to support my parent’s well-being in their journey of aging with grace, surrounded by love while protecting and maximizing their resources. Overwhelmed at first, I realized there was scattered information out there to help guide me in this new role of caring and advocating for my parents. So, I did a ton of research, got certified as a Home Health Aide, attended conferences and classes, interviewed experts, attended weekly support groups and more -- to ensure an understanding of what to look for and do for my parents both physically and emotionally. I sought out a team of experts to help me and my siblings navigate through the financial, legal and medical requirements of securing our parents well-being over the long term. After accumulating this arsenal of knowledge, people kept asking me for “the list” because they didnt have time to do all the events and research I did, so I decided to share everything from my journals and lists and calendar with the other 34 million adult children caring for their parents in this country. I wrote I’ll Be Right There, A Guidebook for Adults Caring for Their Aging Parents. My goal was to remove the overwhelm that I felt when I started the caregiving role and to support other families in their caregiving journey; to help people know what they didn’t know they needed to know when they find themselves in the role of helping a parent. What now? My passion is helping caregivers unearth the person they want to be after caregiving role is over. I lost my father Oct 1, 2021 and will still be caring for mom, but she’s okay right now. So what about me? I know there are others on the same path. Why not support each other?
