Larry shares why many parents avoid these discussions, the emotional challenges that can create conflict, and the importance of approaching the conversation with empathy rather than assumptions. He also explores practical planning strategies that may help families navigate future care needs while preserving options, dignity, and financial flexibility for everyone involved.
