By: Amber Sandhoff Sandhoff had just such an experience with her dad. “My dad had an emergency situation about four years ago. I received a call that he was in the hospital. He lived in central California and I was in Las Vegas.” explains Sandhoff. “After arriving at the hospital and talking with the doctors, they made it clear he didn’t have much time. I knew I needed to have some tough conversations with my dad. Did he have a will? Did he still want to be cremated? We needed a power of attorney and an advance directive. All the while my dad was telling me, ‘it’s not my time!,’ the doctors were giving him less than six months.” Sandhoff continued, “Fortunately, we got everything taken care of with the help of a case worker at the hospital. And my dad was right. He is still here today, but it was a long road getting here. And that journey continues today.” While both of Frye’s parents are healthy, the dynamics of their relationships have changed. “Both of my parents have had minor health issues over the past few years. And, I find they come to me to ask my opinion, to do some research and even for advice as to what they should do.” said Frye. “More and more parents are looking to their adult children for guidance, advice and direction. The roles are reversing, but not in a negative way. Our parents respect and trust us, so they turn to us for help. In many ways it has brought my parents, siblings and I closer, and opened the doors to talking about some difficult topics the needed to be discussed.” concludes Frye. Frye and Sandhoff kept their personal experiences top of mind when developing ParentYourParents.com and still have that philosophy today as the website continues to evolve.
