Featured speaker: Pat Carpenter, from Sequent and OAD Publishing, author of "The Caregiver's Roadmap"


Married to another financial planning professional, Pat Carpenter thought her family was well prepared for terminal illness. Updated Last Will and Testaments, Advance Directives and Powers of Attorney distributed, separate credit histories, personal life insurance in place: good basic planning, but not enough.


Caregiver's Roadmap is about what she and her late husband learned that wasn’t obvious:


    * How do you keep friends updated when you’re exhausted?
    * How do you find the right doctor?
    * Where do you find resources?
    * How do you protect your energy level?
    * What is important to keep doing, and what can you let slide?
    * And, oh, what about work?


Through the six years after diagnosis, they learned how to cope. They built a bridge over the barrier of illness. And they figured out how to say good bye.


Wherever you are in your journey, it’s easier to walk a tough road with a guide. Pat Carpenter has been a patient as well as a caregiver. Learning from her experiences can make your travels easier.
