“This is a pleasurable journey filled with incredible insight. It challenges us to think ahead, to be prepared, and in return assures that in the end we’ll have no regrets.”

Mike Magee, MD, Author of The New Face of Aging

“Mom, Dad…Can We Talk? is an excellent resource for anyone working through the issues of aging parents. It touches on topics many of us are reluctant to bring up within our families, and each chapter offers practical tips to help adult children. This is a wonderful, thought provoking book for all families.”

Mark and Janet Skeie, Authors, Mapping Your Retirement

“Mom, Dad…Can We Talk? raises the issues of aging and family relationships that On Golden Pond did nearly a generation ago. This is not a how-to formula book. There is no kit involved, no GPS for solving the problems we will all encounter if we are fortunate to have elders in our clan. No, this is a book of hope to guide you through difficult family times.”

Larry Minnix, President and CEO, American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, the national association of nearly 5,000 older adult service organizations

“This book is wonderful and will give readers terrific guidance and a lot to think about. It might even lead to improved parent-child relationships – very powerful, indeed.”

Michele Kimball, Executive Director, AARP Minnesota

This is a book I would keep on my bedside table. It’s like a frank conversation with a real friend. However difficult the circumstances or painful the journey, having older parents is a privilege, a gift. This book reminds us that “ending well” is part of living and helps us forward on that journey.”

Gayle Kvenvold, President and CEO, Aging Services of Minnesota
a nationally recognized state association of aging services providers

“I was struck by the similarities of the topics and stories in Mom, Dad…Can We Talk? to my experience as the daughter of 2 aging parents and as physician to my older patients and their families. The book is a “must read” for those of us getting older, to pave the way and to ease the potential burdens of those who will care for us. Bravo!

Audrey Nelson, MD, Emerita Physician, Mayo Clinic
