HOW TO TALK TO YOUR AGING PARENTS (7-9pm) – It is not always easy to watch our parents and loved ones grow older.  Mom or dad might become more forgetful and seem to rely on you for things that they usually took care of.  Often, dynamics shift, leaving you as the decision-maker and coordinator of your parents’ future. Are you overwhelmed at the thought of talking to your aging parents? The Caring for Those You Care About Series presents Dr. Rosalind S. Dorlen, clinical psychologist, who will address ways to initiate this difficult but important dialogue. Summit SAGE Eldercare
