Nothing prepares you for the wild and unpredictable journey that is aging.  

Even though we rarely talk about it....

Aging is the ultimate human experience.

If you feel alone in the struggle...you're not.

In our society, we don't like to talk about death, but that doesn't change reality. Many of us care for family members as they age. Many of us will watch our loved ones fade and be left, alone, to pick up the pieces. We've all been completely overwhelmed by a medical crisis – having no earthly idea how to proceed. We embrace (or avoid) the fact that we won’t be here forever. 

We all experience the gut-churning grief, guilt, helplessness, and panic. Plus hope, connection, and brief flutters of joy. This is messy. It’s every sensation at once. And it's universal.

It’s way past time to start the conversation. 

In my experience, it's almost impossible to get through this alone... so don't.

You've probably been tossed onto this path, headfirst. Certified Senior Advisors and after-loss coaches like myself have been solving these problems for decades. We know everyone, and we have binders upon binders of resources that will blow your mind. Here are just a few ways I can help:    

I’m Terri Izard, Founder of Aging Agendas.

I'm a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) and an after-loss coach. 

I’ve cared for both of my parents and my in-laws, and settled their estates after they passed. Believe me, I intimately understand how hard this can be. I’ve been left to pick up the legal and financial pieces. I’ve been the one dropping off cases of Coke Zero to the care home. I’ve felt like the only idiot sitting in a conference room swivel chair and signing documents without any clue what they meant – just knowing that each question I ask will cost me hundreds of dollars. I know, from experience, what happens when you have a plan for passing…and what can happen when you don’t. 

I’m a mom. 

I’m a daughter. 

I am an educator, and an advocate. I’m a legal-to-laymen translator. And I can help you make the best decisions for yourself and the seniors in your care.

Don't send your family on a wild goose chase!

I spend a lot of time helping clients get their affairs squared away, and the Nokbox is one of my favorite tools to store important information. Set your loved ones on the right path with these secure, comprehensive storage tools.

I have an affiliate relationship with Nokbox, so I may receive a small commission at zero cost to you. That said, know that I only recommend products that I'm absolutely ecstatic about.
