Is this worth protecting? I was on a call a few weeks ago with Nathan Astle, CFT-I™, MFT, who is a financial therapist and we were talking about the importance of family aging/caregiving conversations.  One thing that Nathan shared was how these early conversations can help us —--> “protect the things that are worth protecting” —--> which are relationships. When we don’t communicate, bad things happen… —---->daughter feeling resentful that she had to give up her career to care for her parents —----> siblings stop talking because they disagree on parents care options  —----> parents not sharing their final wishes, leaving adult children to fight over plans How can we help clients understand that if they don’t have these conversations it will impact all aspects of their lives **financial **personal  and professional? My family is having these conversations, so we can continue to make memories and have the entire family on the same page.
