Most of us were raised by our parents. Some of us go on to be parents
ourselves. But what happens when the parents who raised us need
parenting?
This phenomenon which I will call re-parenting is occurring more and
more today. Since none of us plan to get old and need help what happens
whether we like it or not is that we get old and we need help. Many of
us have not made wills, powers of attorney, estate plans, health
directives and many of us do not think about this until the inevitable,
a health emergency occurs. Why plan ahead when we can always act in
crises later? Why not put off what we can do another day?
