How would our favorite Brady do taking care of a newly widowed Carol? Could an adult Marcia, with career and family of her own, juggle her own life with Mom’s?

While Marcia could call upon five siblings and perhaps even a still energetic Alice, for millions of busy adult sons and daughters assisting widowed parents, there’s not typically a BUNCH to help!

Energetic and articulate guest Jamieson Haverkampf galvanizes your audience with an interactive discussion:

• Should Greg take charge? Actually, the biggest indicator of whether aging parents will go to a nursing home is if they have an adult daughter.

• The number of widowed baby boomers will grow from 1.4 million to 9 million in 2018— a 45 percent increase.

• Why Mike died before Carol. Wives now face a 70 percent chance of outliving their husbands.

• Stress in the City: Playing long-distance caregiver to aging parents.

• Debunking the myth that a widow should NEVER move the first year after a spouse passes.

• 5 things you MUST do immediately after a parent dies.
