Q: In this new year I have decided to be more “present” for my parents.
By that, I mean I want to relieve any anxiety they may have about their advancing age.
I know about things like helping them physically with yard work or home repairs, but what are some things I need to know about in order to help them live their lives the way they wish?
I have heard about living wills and power of attorney, but I am not sure if they know about this or if they have these things prepared. Where do I begin? (From a son in Black Earth)
