The Journey of Transitioning a Parent and Finding Joy Along the Way

Not only is Rosie Mankes a daughter, wife, and mother, she is a life coach, motivational speaker, and author of Find Your Joy and Run With It. Her heartwarming memoir is about overcoming her second battle with cancer, the transitioning of her mother into an assisted living facility, and the unexpected loss of her brother, all within one year. Rosie’s recovery from these challenges inspired her to become a life coach, to help people pull through significant adversity and life challenges.  

 

In this episode, Annalee and Rosie explore what signs indicate that your loved one may need more care than usual and how not to be in denial about your loved one's declining health. They speak about transitioning from child to parent in the relationship, and not feeling guilty about the difficult decisions you need to make as a caregiver, and what self-care means for you during this journey.
