Elderly Parent Care Tips | Preparing For Aging Parents | How To Handle Medical Emergencies Life comes at you fast—especially when it comes to caring for aging parents. In this episode of the Legacy Journeys Podcast, we tackle one of the toughest challenges many of us face: being prepared for elderly parent emergencies. We were not ready for what hit us. We have been living with Liv’s parents since last year, and while we thought we had everything under control, life had other plans. Her dad is in the late stages of dementia, and on January 3rd, her mom—who was the glue holding it all together—suffered a major stroke. In a single moment, our world turned upside down... But as overwhelming as it all felt, we learned some invaluable lessons about preparation—and today, we’re sharing them with YOU. Here’s what we’ll cover: ✅ The 10 essentials you MUST have for medical emergencies, like power of attorney documents, life insurance info, and yes, even a toothbrush. ✅ Why your parents’ medical history and medication list are more important than you think (hint: don’t rely on memory). ✅ The real-life chaos of scrambling to figure out finances, real estate deeds, and insurance policies during a crisis—and how to avoid it. This episode isn’t just about tips—it’s about real talk, sprinkled with humor (because let’s be honest, sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying). Whether you’re already caring for aging parents or just trying to get ahead of the curve, this episode is packed with practical advice and a few relatable moments you won’t forget. If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I’ll deal with it later,” trust us—later comes a lot faster than you think. 💬 Share your thoughts in the comments: What’s one thing you’ve done to prepare for your parents’ care? Let’s start the conversation!

Planning a wedding is always an adventure, but ours had its own set of twists and turns.

We’ll share the little miracles we witnessed along the way, how our faith community showed up for us, and why we believe our story is a testament to love’s resilience.

You’ll also hear some scary moments like how Carlton left our wedding clothes at home and didn’t realize it until we were over an hour away from home. Plus, we share our best tips for anyone planning their own big day, whether it’s around the corner or still a dream.
