About this audiobook
Most families wait until there is a crisis—then, in a hospital corridor or after a diagnosis, they try to say in five minutes what should have been said over months. This book helps you start earlier, gently, and with confidence. Drawing on the experience of carers, chaplains, and clinicians, it offers practical conversation starters, ways to listen without needing to fix, and steady guidance for the questions we avoid: what your parent wants, how they want to be cared for, what will bring them comfort, and what they want to leave behind. It also tackles the hard parts—denial, anger, dementia, sibling conflict, and that final goodbye—without euphemism or fear. You will learn how to make every conversation an act of love that reduces anxiety, strengthens trust, and gives your parent a sense of control and dignity. Warm, honest, and deeply useful, this is the companion every adult child needs when words matter most. Part of The Caring for a Parent Library.
