I think health is a great conversation. You should also talk about how you want end of life to play out. You should also share financial information and wishes. Not generalizations, real discussion. My step father just passed 89 my mom is 83. I have spent 4 months and still not sure I have covered everything. 3 weeks trying to gather information. Right now we all know what is what. Most lose some control over time. Everyone is different. You just can’t know how you will be. Some hide financial struggle from their children, I see this in my business all the time. Children are shocked what is or is not there in the end.
