Your role is to be, we got this.
You know, even when you think about the context of, you know, fighting cancer, for example, it's this front of being positive and having a good mindset and in a battle.
So to then flip the switch and say, yeah, I mean, I believe you're going to be okay, but let's talk about when you're not is really hard to do.
I think the other thing is none of us really believe we're going to die.
And that's the other faction, right?
Even when faced with our own mortality, we know intellectually that everyone's going to die.
But there is sort of a collective denial about our own mortality, our own fallibility, the fact that we will all get older and age and require care.
And then let's throw in family dynamics.
right?
And not everybody has the ideal relationship with their parents or their siblings.
And so when something like aging happens or a health event happens, no one is their best self.
So that's the time you're going to have the conversation that no one wants to have.
It's really, really hard.
So my best advice is
It's not one conversation, guys.
It can be a series of conversations over time so you don't have to tackle it all on Tuesday at 6 o'clock when you sit down for dinner and you invite mom and dad over to talk about whether or not they should move into an assisted living facility.
I think these conversations should happen over time.
And the trigger for the conversation could be any number of things, but it's got to start from a place of love and a place of concern, not of judgment, not of fear, and hopefully not during a time of crisis.
Absolutely.
Having the luxury of time gives you more options.
