Parenting your Parents: What I Learned the Hard Way
About this episode
Caroline shares her personal journey of caring for her aging parents, highlighting the challenges and lessons learned along the way.
A tearjerker episode about the shift to “parenting” aging parents 💔. In this episode, Caroline shares her story, the scary early signs of her dad’s Alzheimer’s (repeat calls, odd emails), and the moment she set a huge boundary when her mom tried to leave Dad with her. She tells what care homes were really like, how COVID isolation and a helper stealing money made everything worse 😳, and how her dad later died after a severe infection. Then she explains how moving her mom into their home (with a full-time caregiver) helped her go from barely walking to dancing, dressing up, and thriving 💃💄. You’ll learn: ✅ warning signs to notice ✅ how to set boundaries ✅ how to take breaks (oxygen mask first) Ask yourself: Who would handle your parents’ care? Do you know where the money and wills are?
