\n\u201cLove You Mom\/Dad!\u201d
\nThis Valentine\u2019s Day, show mom or dad how much you truly love them. Many people attend parenting classes, read and re-read books for guidance on how best to raise their children. Yet when it comes to helping our parents, many of us have no plan and just hope for the best.
\nMany people put off health care decisions and financial planning because they don\u2019t want to make family members uncomfortable, or they are anxious about discussing money or life and death issues. Worse yet, there are millions of Americans who think they don\u2019t need a Living Will or other advanced directives because they are too young, too healthy, or too poor. Children are often hesitant to bring these issues up with their aging parents \u2013 even when they are worried about how to best support them as they age.
\nIf you are a person (or love someone) who falls into one of these categories, it may help to think of these decisions and conversations as another way to take care of the people who are most important to you. It may not be the most common love language, but a safe and secure future is the most priceless gift you can give anyone you care about, including yourself.
\nEveryone has their own unique ways of showing and receiving love. Think of the ways your loved ones have expressed their feelings for you in the past, and then try to keep this in mind as you connect with them now. If Dad keeps a box of every card you\u2019ve ever written to him, then a caring letter might be a safe way to broach a difficult subject. If Mom won\u2019t let you leave the house without a kiss and a hug, then physical contact is important to her. Sitting close by, or holding her hand might be a way to help her feel more comfortable as you discuss some of these issues.
\nHere are a few other suggestions for how to talk with your aging parents or other family members about planning for the future:<\/p>\n
