My Plan, My Way: When family lives far away

$19

You’ve built a life you love. Your family just happens to live somewhere else.

Maybe your daughter is three states away. Maybe she’s across an ocean. Either way, the people who love you are quietly wondering the same thing: What would happen if Mom needed help?

My Plan, My Way gives you a calm, private way to answer that in your own words and on your own timeline, before someone else has to answer it for you.

This isn’t a nudge to move. Staying can be the right choice, and so can moving. What matters is that you’re the one choosing.

Inside the 14-page printable worksheet:

My Support Team. Find out who’s really in your corner and whether they’ve actually said yes. Sort your people by who is willing, able, and available, and plan for the day your main person can’t be there.
What If… Five honest questions: a 2 a.m. emergency, family who can’t get on a plane tonight, a hospital stay, sorting things out from far away, and whether a change is easier now, in a year, or in five.
What Matters Most. Name your top values, then see whether staying or moving would honor them.
One-Page Summary. Your whole plan on a single page. Start here if the full packet feels like a lot.
BONUS: The Move Plan. If you decide on a change, work backwards from move day so “someday” becomes a date. You can also hand it to the family member who’s helping.

Buying this for Mom or Dad?

You don’t have to start “the talk.” Give it as a gift, not an assignment. They’ll do the thinking privately, at their own pace. When they’re ready, the summary page gives you both an easy way in: “I’ve been thinking about this. Can I tell you what I came up with?”

You’ll learn what’s already in place, where the gaps are, and who’s truly on call, without prying, pushing, or arguing.

Not sure what to say when you send it? Try: “I came across this and thought of you. No pressure, it’s yours to use however you like.”

Why I made this: In 15+ years in senior living, I’ve watched too many families make these decisions in a hospital hallway. A little thinking now gives you more say later.
