- For the first time in history, women have more parents to care for than children. A record number of women are leaving the workforce to care for aging parents, yet few have a financial plan or know what to expect. How can we better plan for the inevitable? This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
This talk is easily the best, organic illustration of what it means to confront the most unpleasant reality of your parents' aging and all that it entails. It should have waaaaay more views! I am the sole caregiver to my 93 year mom, and I thank you so very much for putting into words my feelings 🤗🤗🤗
I am the sole caregiver to my 93 years old grandma without any support from siblings or relatives.
Love gave you what you needed for this Ted Talk. I enjoyed how you shared. Thank you.

I am doing better and been more accepting of the situation. Everything has a purpose. I guess it's up to us to see it or not. 🙏
@@chrislim7976 you are so right and Im so glad to hear that. Its all about our own perception, got to keep positive and keep pushing. Remember to take care of yourself first 🤍 all the best
My mom died when I was four, leaving me and my two sisters navigating a confusing world. Recently I asked my father why they didn't talk about the after if they knew she would die soon of cancer, he answer me, your mother didn't want to talk about it and I was scared. That silence let my uncles take control of their assets, of our custody and defined our lives horribly. I which they would talk about it.
This really helped me. Thank you.
You're awesome Lady,thank God your parents gave birth to their "diamond"wish you the best of health!!RIP Dad.

pay
I saw your comment...."pay". How in the world? Take out a loan? If you have to leave your job, what would be the alternative? Cause most of the time we are at our wits end to pay it forward for the funerals.

Interesting personal story, but very little practical advice for how to "prepare for the unexpected." Ultimately, this was a waste of my time :(
Why is this a gendered issue?
Think the presenter is very nervous trying to make the talk a bit more interesting/fun? Everyone has their own challenges so this wasn’t relatable at all for me, waste of my time
