Episode 3: Laughing Through the Tears with Abby

In this episode of Parental Advisory in Reverse, Abby shares the raw, tender, and unexpectedly funny realities of caring for her father at the end of his life. From honoring his wishes - even when she would’ve preferred an easier path - to the fair food at his bedside that somehow became a cherished memory, Abby reminds us how love shows up in the everyday moments.

She opens the door to the things you don’t know that you don’t know about hospice, the emotional whiplash of caregiving, and the beauty hidden inside those final weeks. Her stories will make you laugh, cry, and maybe both at the same time.

Up next? Becky, and you might need more than just one Kleenex. She’s the epitome of the Gen Xer who’s tired of being the responsible one, yet somehow still finds gratitude in showing up for her mom, Mary Margaret.

If you're supporting aging parents or preparing for what's ahead, this episode is for you.
