Holiday Transitions: Talking Before a Crisis
The holidays bring family together — which makes this season the ideal time to start gentle conversations about the future. Planning early helps everyone feel secure, reduces stress, and prevents crisis situations later.
Tips for Meaningful Holiday Conversations
Ask gentle questions
“How are your parents doing?”
“Where do they live?”
Avoid one heavy conversation
Multiple small talks work better than a single overwhelming discussion.
Prepare gradually
Discuss finances, health, and care plans step by step.
Preparation now brings peace later — for both you and your loved ones.
