Your Parents Are Ageing and Nobody Is Talking About It, with Winnie Chan and Lizzie Chan

After 30 years as a barrister in Hong Kong, Winnie Chan's second career began at her father's bedside. Caring for him through cancer taught her that even the closest families fall into conflict over treatment, money, accommodation and, hardest of all, where a parent will die. She became an elder mediator to help families have those conversations before a crisis forces them.She is joined by Lizzie Chan, the first Asian elder mediator qualified by EMIN and a trained end-of-life doula. Together we explore why families do not really know each other until a crisis, Hong Kong's fragmented households, the sandwich generation, why peers matter more than children in later life, and why a good death starts with living well today.All episodes and transcripts: https://www.danieleforni.com/podcastIf you want to know more about Daniele Forni, go to www.danieleforni.com
