Questions/Comments Answered in the Discussion

  • As I understand it, Hollywood has discovered the beaut;y of silver/gray/white hair.  I'm jealous. I am over 80, it doesn't look like I will ever get it.
  • You've mentioned that we older adults tend to participate in "organ recitals".  Can you speak to the downside of such discussions and how to diffuse them?
  • This book is a great resource for talks with our adult kids.  Have the conversations with them now, so we can clearly articulate what we want.  Saying things out loud, or even write them down into a contract!
  • there is a publication called "five wishes" that helps tell those you love what you want done as you age and how you want people to remember you
  • How can I invite Steven to speak to a future Zoom meeting with the group I lead in Arlington, TX (Ambassadors For Aging Well). 500+ members...
  • "Does Steven know anything about use of video for end of life issue planning and decision making
