Scenario

When siblings disagree about caring for aging parents from far away

My brother and I both left our hometown twenty years ago but now Mom needs more help and we're trying to figure out how to care for her from a distance — except he thinks we should move her closer to one of us and I think we should hire local help and neither of us wants to be the one who disrupts her whole life.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love the same person are discovering their different values about sacrifice, control, and what constitutes good care.
