This week my guest is author, coach, and corporate veteran, Sherry Buckley-Brown.Having just released her memoir, "Who Will Take Care of Me Now", Sherry and I discuss the tragic loss of her mother, the beautiful relationship she developed with her grandmother, and the ups and downs in between. After earning an MBA and working in leadership roles at IBM, Bank of America, and HCSC, Sherry came to the realization that what she enjoyed most about every job she held was working WITH people. Presented with every opportunity to be cynical, Sherry has written beautifully about her struggles and shares with us not only the lessons she's learned, but the wrongs she learned to forgive. It was a wonderful conversation, and I even promise we end with a story that will make you smile. Enjoy the show.

As the longevity revolution continues, an increasing number of individuals will find themselves in the role of solo agers. This population is expanding due to a multitude of factors, including enhanced longevity, shifting family dynamics, and evolving demographics.   My guest today is Joy Loverde. She is the author of two books, one of which focuses on family caregivers. The first book is titled "The Complete Elder Care Planner." Joy is also the author of "Who Will Take Care of Me When I'm Old?".   Joy's expertise lies in teaching us how to be curious, informed, critical thinkers, and resilient individuals who remain actively engaged and contribute to society. In addition to being an author, Joy is also a speaker who has been quoted in reputable publications such as the Wall Street Journal, TIME Magazine, New York Times, U.S. News & World Report, and Psychology Today , among many others. She has been interviewed on prominent shows like the Today Show, Good Morning America, and NPR. Critics describe her work as "illuminating, eye-opening, and essential reading for everyone over 40".   We talk about solo aging and the importance of planning ahead. She highlights the top three planning needs. She also emphasizes that true wellness encompasses intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and social aspects, not just physical health. We explore the unique aspects of solo aging compared to aging with a partner, highlighting the challenges that come with being a solo ager. She discusses successful interactions between solo agers and younger generations, emphasizing the importance of these connections. Joy also shares about the availability of public resources and the benefits of solo aging. She addresses the navigation of caregiver shortages, offers insights on developing resilience as one ages and how we stay engaged, and be givers.   Personally, I have had the pleasure of meeting Joy and seeing her speak live, and I can attest that she is just as wonderful in person. Joy has become a friend, and I am so happy to share her work with all of you.   Learn more at www.elderindustry.com   *This episode is brought to you by Gigi Betty co.

Happy New Year! Solo Ager experts Joy Loverde, Sara Geber, and Carol Marak were kind enough to share their thoughts with us on what Solo Agers should map out in the new year. Here are your seven new year resolutions from your favorite Solo Ager experts: Joy Loverde, is the author of two books, The Complete Eldercare Planner and Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old. She is an expert in this area of solo agers and we are grateful that she shared her insight with our followers on our podcast Episode 192: How to Plan for Old Age and Being Childless with Joy Loverde podcast. She offers the following New Year’s Resolutions: 1. Learn More About Shared Housing Shared housing can be summarized in two words: “Golden Girls.” Instead of going into a facility, this is a situation where people share housing. This can be a more intimate, cozy environment, compared to a institution setting. Last year reminded us how important social interaction is, and a lot of people have learned that they want to be in the company of others. She believes that shared housing will increase in popularity and will take off this year, as a result of 2020. This may or may not work for everyone, but it is certainly something for a Solo Ager look into. Joy recommends researching and exploring this option to see if it is something to consider. 2. Be More Aware of the Full Responsibility of Pet Ownership Another result of 2020 is increased pet ownership. Many people sought companionship from pets when isolated from the real world. Solo Agers need to know the extent of what it takes to care for a furry family member. If they haven’t done so already, now is a good time to research the financial and physical aspects of pet ownership. In particular, what will happen to your pet if you are unable to care for them? Joy recommends exploring a pet trust. While Anthony isn’t a fan of pet trusts, he explains that they are a vehicle to care for the pet financially. Instead of giving funds outright to a person to care for a pet, it’s put into a trust. Anthony suggests that instead of a pet trust, you find someone that will care for your pet properly if given an outright lump sum. Sara Geber, PhD. is the author of Essential Retirement Planning for Solo Agers. She is also a retirement transition coach and a professional speaker on retirement and aging. Sara shared essential retirement planning tips with Anthony recently on his podcast. You can listen to them here (part 1) and here (part 2). Sara She suggests these New Year’s Resolutions for Solo Agers: 3. Review and update your planning documents Sara suggests that Solo Agers take the time to review their estate planning documents. In particular, she suggests reviewing your Power of Attorney and Advance Directive, especially if you have not done so in five or more years. While this isn’t the easiest and most uplifting resolution, it is very important. Anthony suggests that you review these documents every 4 years, which coordinates with the Olympics. To him, it is an easier way to remember. This is like going to the dentist – you may not love it, but you have to do it. 4. Have “the conversation” with your family and/or other loved ones   Again, while not a fun topic of conversation, it’s important. You don’t have to make a whole to-do about telling them, but it’s a good time to start talking, even if it’s informally. If you don’t share your end of life wishes and emergency contacts, then no one might know. It doesn’t necessarily have to be family. It may be your Super or Doorman that may learn of your passing before others. They see you daily and may know if something is wrong. You will want them to know who to call. While not easy to talk about, if you share your burial and inheritance wishes beforehand, it may make it easier on those who will help with your funeral planning and finances. Carol Marak is a solo aging advisor and advocate. She is the founder of the Elder Orphan Facebook Group, which launched in 2016 has almost 10,000 members. She also has a very successful YouTube channel called Solo and Smart and her book Solo and Smart, is slated for publication in 2021. We were thrilled to have spoken with her in podcast Episode 194: Tips from Founder of The Elder Orphans Support Group. 5. Shift uncertainty to predictable outcomes Carol says that you should work to shift uncertainty into predictable outcomes. Generally, uncertainty can be stressful, so she suggests you fix it. If you’re feeling stressed about your health – fix it. Talk to your primary care physician about things you can do to change your daily habits and feel better. She suggests that you build a team of support. Not knowing who will help you when you need it can be stressful. A family can be built with friends and Carol calls these your “family of choice.” It does not necessarily need to be relatives. Find your team – your friends, your doorman, etc. 6. Never buy into the idea that you are powerless Carol suggests that you list two goals you want to accomplish. They do not have to be big goals. Simply pick two things that you have thought about doing and do them. She suggests that to do this, you should find the people who can help you learn the skills or strategies to achieve them. Anthony, a Solo Ager expert as well shares his resolutions for Solo Agers: 7. Read more books, less “news” Anthony recommends that you read more books and watch less news. Books help to educate and sharpen your mind. Authors of books typically spend substantially more time researching and writing the book then say a blog post or news article that was written on the whim. He feels that books immerse you, contrary to news articles which tend to enflame you. Reading keeps you sharp and talking about books makes you a better conversationalist than talking about news. Set a goal to read one or two books a year. Anthony suggests that you never put pressure on yourself to finish a book. If you start it and don’t like it, put it down. You can go back to it or you can simply never pick it up again. If you go into a book with that pressure, it’s much harder to get started reading. Knowing you can stop when you want gives you some mental freedom to try more and more books. Let’s face it - book clubs sound more fun and social than news clubs! Another bonus – you don’t have to purchase books. You can borrow them from a library or even your friends.

The world is just catching up with Joy Loverde, a champion of eldercare and family caregiving for over 30 years. In the second of two widely acclaimed books, Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old? (2017), Joy speaks frankly and considerately about planning for the realities of aging and living longer. Women should start planning in their 40s so as older adults they will have enough money and housing that feels like home. She also encourages women to have authentic conversations with each other about experiences of growing older. Joy consults widely with companies about respectful messaging of their products and services to the mature market. She embraces technology as a tool for resourceful living, including robots becoming part of our lives. Joy’s consistent message: If you want to know about being old, observe and ask the people who are old.   Old people are living answers to our lives. - Joy Loverde   Email jloverde@elderindustry.com Website elderindustry.com Pinterest    pinterest.com/joyloverde Twitter        twitter.com/joyloverde LinkedIn     linkedin.com/in/joyloverde Books: Who Will Take Care Of Me When I’m Old?

Did you know that a baby boomer is a person who was born between 1946 and 1964? This group represents nearly 20% of American and 30% of the Canadian population. By 2030, all baby boomers will be older than 65 and many won't have a family caregiver to help them take care of themselves.  Question is, who will take care of them when they are old? Yes, there are government programs that provide healthcare and other support but there has to be a change in the mindset that enables and empowers older adults in our communities. How about we discuss this subject and have a heart-to-heart chat with someone who has over 30 years of experience in elder care industry?

We had the privilege of speaking with Joy Loverde, author of two books, The Complete Eldercare Planner and Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old. She’s an expert in this area of solo agers and we are grateful that she shared her insight with our followers. Who Will Take Care of Me When I Get Old?   This is a very important question and Joy says that the answer is yourself. It’s a mindset. You have to have the willingness to talk to others, make plans, and be willing to have these difficult conversations right now. These conversations include signing legal documents, having them in order, and having money in the bank. Joy says that quite often, people are surprised to learn they are the person to take over the roll of caring for someone. You never know who will land on your doorstep or something will happen to us. The reality is that some people do not have family members that will around when the time comes. There are community groups out there for just this situation. There are situations where there is no one to care for you and you run the risk of becoming a ward of the state. This is not ideal. Joy says that you should do your research now to see what you may need down the road. The worst thing you can do is do nothing. Benefits of Aging in Place There are quite a few benefits to aging in place. But you need to show up and get out in the community where you live so that others get to know you and you get to know them. We get to know our surroundings and navigate them by memory, and if we get to know our strengths and weaknesses now where we live, it will be beneficial to aging in place. You have to be conscious of where you live. You can’t assume that things will be in place all the time. That goes for both inside and outside of the home in the community. Disadvantages of Aging in Place There are certainly a few disadvantages and risks, starting with the home aging along with us. A bedroom on the second floor or basement laundry may also pose problems. Another huge issue is that as we age, we may become forgetful. Being alone and forgetful is a recipe for disaster, especially financially. We need to remember to keep money in the bank, pay bills, etc. Lastly, there is a caregiver shortage. There may not be anyone available to help when you finally make the call to an in-home agency. Manhattan and other big cities are a great place to age alone, as the city is walkable, and the buildings have security. One advantage is that it’s easier to make friends. People tend to get know their doorman, neighbors, and even the mailman. Buildings become their own community. There are also many social activities you can get involved in that you can walk to. Outside of the city, transportation can become an issue. Particularly driving cars as we age. This is something to consider. You will need to factor in the cost of paying for ride share cars each time. How to Reduce Social Isolation (Zero Isolation) Joy’s chapter Zero Isolation talks about how to make friends. She says that one of the things we need to look for when we join an organization is to make sure there is new people coming in all the time. You want to look for clubs where there is a revolving door which will keep the organization thriving. If there are no new members, the pool of friends and members may dry up. You can also seek out new things online – cooking classes, language classes, etc. Just get out there and meet people. Another discussion is eating alone. While eating alone is fine, Joy recommends trying to eat with people as often as you’re able. This can be as simple as eating on a park bench with a new friend and inviting them to share your meal. Sharing your thoughts and ideas over food is a great way to meet new friends. During the holidays, Joy says that you do not have to feel obligated to go to family dinners. Family dinners aren’t always positive and happy, and you simply don’t have to go. However, you should be prepared that you may be lonely. A good idea is to plan something for yourself on that particular day, even if it’s to clean and reorganize your closet. How We Both Got Into Serving this Community Anthony is a professional executor. He is hired to navigate estates and probates for families and heirs that are not nearby or are unable to serve. He realized that there is a great demand for this type of assistance, and he enjoys being able to help people in this situation. Joy saw a group of elders sitting alone in the dark at a nursing home on Thanksgiving when she was just 14 years old. She didn’t understand why they ended up this way, especially since she comes from a large Italian family. Over time, she realized that it was a lack of communication between family members, leading her to write her first book. She wanted to get people talking and we are grateful she has.
