Being part of the Sandwich Generation is not easy, especially if you are caring for aging parents and raising kids at the same time. In today’s podcast we discuss how to approach the hard family conversation around dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. As part of our conversation we share early warning signs to look for, the types of questions to ask, and how to bring in your trusted advisors to help with next steps. As families gather to celebrate the holiday season, we think starting the conversation around these sensitive subjects will help ensure that your parent’s wishes are carried out when the time comes.

Remember, as a listener, you are part of the process and we encourage you to ask questions, make comments and offer suggestions for future shows. To participate, please send an e-mail to [email protected] or join the conversation on Twitter with Victor Gaxiola (@victorgaxiola) and Kim Gaxiola (@kimgaxiola) using the hashtag #AskTGF. We also encourage you to follow us on Facebook, and connect with us on Instagram and  LinkedIn
