Having “The Talk” With Your Folks Doesn't Have to Be Awkward [Interview with Julie O'Hagan]

from The Kinder Way Podcast · host Serenia Life Financial

When it comes to end-of-life planning in Canada, the stats tell us that many of us are behind when it comes to making these very important decisions. Maybe that’s because having “the talk” about end-of-life planning can feel a little bit awkward – whether we’re chatting with our life partner, business partner, or aging parents. But as more and more Canadians enter the sandwich generation, having difficult conversations with parents become all the more important.If you’ve ever wondered how to talk to aging parents about finances, funeral wishes, or where they keep their will, this latest episode is for you. Using only a blog article as her guide, our host asks her boomer mom the awkward questionsabout her end-of-life wishes… and realizes it doesn’t have to be so awkward after all.
