The one that changes everything. The one nobody is ever ready for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEric Gage wasn't ready either - until he decided to be. When he finally sat down with his aging parents to talk through the questions most families avoid - Where is the will? Who has Power of Attorney? What do you actually want, for your care and for your home? - he realized how much he didn't know, despite a lifetime of loving them well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBefore the Call\u003c\/em\u003e is the guide Eric wished he'd had. Written not by a geriatric specialist or an elder law attorney, but by a son living this in real time, it walks readers through the conversations, documents, and decisions that too many families put off until a crisis forces the issue. Practical, warm, and grounded in lived experience, this book helps adult children move from good intentions to real preparedness - before the emergency, not during it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether your parents live down the street or across the country, \u003cem\u003eBefore the Call\u003c\/em\u003e gives you a clear place to start: a framework for the conversation, a checklist for the details, and the reassurance that you don't have to have all the answers.
