Parents procrastinate about financial planning and often leave their family with problems about inheritance, responsibility, entitlement, and feelings of regret and anger. They neglect the need for shared medical and legal information and preferences for end-of-life care.
Adult children often feel uncomfortable about opening these conversations with their parents. Both generations need a road map for navigating through these crucial but often uncomfortable subjects.
Here is your chance to save yourself and your loved ones unnecessary grief, by having the conversations that matter between generations - before it's too late.
From Chapter 8 on Forgivenes
Here is a list of some of the most important questions you and your parent or adult child can discuss. The first five relate to specific issues or problems between you. The remainder cover areas that people who love each other want to say while they still can.
- What could I have done differently?
- How did my choice impact you?
- What would you have done in my place?
- How would that have changed our relationship?
- What do you need from me now to move forward?
- Do your parents/children know how much you love them?
- What do you most respect and admire about them?
- What is the most important thing you want them to know?
- What are you most grateful for?
- Do you need to ask for forgiveness?
