  • Excellent Survival Guide for Many Stages of Family

    I’m loving each episode of this Podcast and recommend it often. Just finished the latest one with Dr. Anne-Louise Lockhart and bought her book. What I appreciate most about this Podcast is how it illuminates the many stages in family life and how they intersect with other areas, like the legal and financial foundations that serve to protect and enhance how families can grow. It looks at families as the essential element of the overall community. It weaves theory and practice together. Love it.

  • Wow! What I never knew but glad I know now.

    As a member of the Sandwich Generation we are torn in so many directions. Our children, our parents, our spouses, our own lives and staying sane at the same time. This podcast has truly opened my eyes and ears to valuable information that I’m able to share with all generations of my family. Such as: the difference of Medicare and Medicaid, elder care, trusts and estates, support for caregivers and the various services out there just to name a few to help our loved ones live a dignified life.

  • Refreshing

    It’s so easy to get caught up in taking care of everyone else that you lose yourself in the process. This podcast touches on so many topics related to being a caregiver for adult family members and your own children. It’s nice to know and hear that I’m not alone in this and they’re great to listen to as well.

Gray Monster Takeover: Essential Estate Planning Tips for the Sandwich Generation with Candace Dellacona
Q: What is the best way to protect an aging parent from scams while still respecting their autonomy?
Educate the parent about common scams, monitor for isolation, involve trusted professionals or financial institutions to set safeguards (like guardrails on accounts), and document powers of attorney and care directives to ensure quick action when needed.
Gray Monster Takeover: Essential Estate Planning Tips for the Sandwich Generation with Candace Dellacona
Q: How should one approach discussing estate planning with aging parents to avoid conflict?
Approach it with empathy and as a series of conversations over time, not a single family meeting. Use a respectful tone, acknowledge cultural or religious values, and consider the role of a neutral party like a trusted attorney to facilitate dialogue.
Gray Monster Takeover: Essential Estate Planning Tips for the Sandwich Generation with Candace Dellacona
Q: Does a grandchild automatically inherit if a parent dies and the grandparent's will doesn't specify?
Not automatically; depending on the document and state law, grandchildren may step into their parent's shoes or may need specific provisions. It's important to review and potentially revise the estate plan to reflect current family realities and local statutes.
Discovering Strength Through Caregiving with Lisa McCarty
Q: How did being a young caregiver shape you into the person you are today, both as a parent and as a writer?
She explains that early caregiving fostered empathy and resilience but also created challenges like boundary setting; therapy helped her process the trauma and enabled a more sustainable approach to caregiving later in life.
Discovering Strength Through Caregiving with Lisa McCarty
Q: So when did you first realize that your personal experiences, particularly caregiving, were the stories you wanted to share with the world?
She describes a gradual realization sparked by writing about grief, the feedback from readers, and the sense that her experiences could help others understand and connect with their own struggles.
