Trigger warning:
Veronica recounts the death scene of a parent. If you want to skip this section, it’s from 10:56-14:45.
In this episode, we talk about being in the “sandwich years,” multi-generational households, managing your parents’ health, an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, the cost of elder care, the “aging talk,” and the “death talk.”
