What valuable life lessons can we learn from our elders, especially in the face of adversity? Join me as I share my heartfelt experiences with caregiving for my 96-year-old mother, who recently survived a mild heart attack. Her resilience, acceptance, and wisdom have profoundly impacted my perspective on life and the importance of living an encore life. 

In this emotional episode, we explore the challenges of caregiving, estate planning, and leaning on others in uncertain times. Through the stories of my family's past and my mother's incredible strength, I hope to inspire you to embrace life's uncertainties and prioritize what truly matters. 

The journey of caregiving and estate planning can be challenging, but it also offers valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. By embracing an encore mindset and leaning on others for support, we can find purpose and meaning in our experiences while navigating life's challenges. As we continue on our encore life journey, let's remember to prioritize what truly matters and live a life filled with purpose and passion.

We'll dive deeper into these concepts:

• Hospice and hospice programs
• The role of an executor
• The simple things that need to be done
• Working with the emotions and the uncertainty of life
• Thinking about your why
• Recognizing the different seasons of your life
