“My book is working. It is doing what I intended – to motivate families to confront the future of their ageing parents. It has given a new contemporary meaning to family planning. Just in the last week, as a result of reading my book, and using my family planning agenda, I have had three family planning meetings with different families to nut out and resolve simmering issues about the futures of their mums and dads. They have all said it is not just a relief to confront it together, but to be better informed about the options and to find a path forward.”

I have a slightly eerie feeling that the universe was telling me something by sending your book my way ! ( just kidding, I don’t believe any of that nonsense) but I’m very relieved that I had access to this advice just before I and my two siblings( and our widowed 92 year old mum) embark on changes which potentially have huge personal and financial implications. As far as I can see, we are about to make “ every mistake in the book” and I am determined that none of these terrible and distressing scenarios occur in our family.

Listened to Brian interviewed on Radio National and the advice that he was giving resonated with me. The book is packed full of information, much of which we’ve been struggling to find or understand and there it was packed into one book. I also found the book easy to read, case studies and humour just helped to get the message across. The book has now made it’s way around our family so in some ways we avoided having any more of our ‘around in circles’ conversations and now are really moving forward with our plans with and for mum and dad. thank YOU.

It is incredible information for the whole family to read and understand as there is a lot of valuable information to take in and understand. Information that can save a lot of problems for the family, sadly when parents pass on.
