Today, we're going to explore a deeply personal and often challenging journey many of us face: supporting an aging parent after the loss of a spouse or partner.

My guest today is Annalee Kruger, the founder of Care Right Inc. With over 28 years of experience navigating the complex terrain of family caregiving and dementia progression, Annalee brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and practical solutions. From her early days as a Social Worker to spearheading innovative platforms like the Care Right Inc., Annalee's dedication to improving the lives of aging individuals and their families shines through.

In our conversation today, we explore the profound loss of losing a parent and also questions of how to support the spouse who has experienced loss. How can we help our parents combat loneliness and isolation? What are the practical steps we can take to ensure their physical well-being and comfort at home? And perhaps most importantly, how do we balance their emotional needs with the practical aspects of daily life after such a significant loss?

From managing finances and household chores to finding the right support groups, we'll cover the spectrum of challenges and misconceptions in this delicate phase of life.

Join us as we move into understanding, supporting, and learning how to make these years as fulfilling and peaceful as possible for our loved ones.
