👑Southern Royalty👑 ~ Mom, Dad…Can We Talk? is a helpful book for anyone dealing with aging parents. It gives real life situations and tips on how to open up the pathway of hard conversations that are necessary. Reading this book gave me a reality check: all people age and one day these tips can help my adult children have the same type of difficult conversations with me. We go through life thinking: that’s not me but aging happens to everyone, and it helps knowing what needs to be discussed now verses later. Definitely recommend reading!
