Dear friend,

You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you’re in bed, totally asleep, and suddenly the phone rings? You look at the clock… 4:17 am… you think, “I hope this is a wrong number because no one would be calling at this hour unless it was bad news.”

It wasn’t a wrong number.

It was my sister… “Just wanted to let you know… don’t worry… she’s stable now… heart attack… resting comfortably… Daddy is hanging in there… a few more days in the hospital for observation… probability of open-heart surgery…”

My heart was pounding, my breathing was erratic, sort of dizzy, trying not to cry, trying to listen and think ahead at the same time… I was so confused I kept asking, “What?” I’ve never been that afraid.

When I finally hung up the phone, a kind of numbness came over me. I wanted to cry but I couldn’t. No chance of going back to sleep. So many thoughts racing through my mind. So many questions. So much unfinished business. Memories, plans, unanswered questions. But at least for the time being, my mother was stable.

But the questions didn’t stop. What should I do now? Who could I find to give me some straightforward answers? How could I help her and my Dad in the months and years to come?

I needed answers… NOW

Hi. My name is Cindi Dawson. You probably don’t know me. But that’s all right because who I am is not as important as what I do.

Planning and research are two of my favorite things. If I don’t know WHY something happens, I search for an answer until I finally find it. Sometimes this has been a little overbearing for my friends and family but most of the time it has been more positive than negative. But what does this have to do with you?

I’m a baby boomer who has aging parents just like you. And I care about them just like you. I care about their safety. I care about their health. I care about their longevity. I want them with me as long as possible. And so do you. So when my phone rang in the middle of the night, I wanted… no, I NEEDED to know how I could help them. Don’t you feel the same way?

But as I started my research I realized several important things. The answers I needed were in fragments… one piece here, another answer there… a third website had a list of resources—more places to explore and learn. The more I searched, the larger the puzzle became.

If you’re a baby boomer who has received a “wake-up call” and you have been searching for answers, this has probably happened to you as well. There is no “one” definitive source where you can find all the information you need. Yes, I found some good resources—websites, forums, newsletters, even organizations who could tell me bits and pieces. But it took forever. And who has forever… especially when you’re working against time?

So frustrating! When you want something, don’t you want it NOW? Who wants to search endlessly at place after place finding only crumbs? Not me. I want everything conveniently packaged and easily accessible. Don’t you? If you've read enough and you're ready to get started, click here to order now.

  Hi, Cindi.

I just listened to the first two parts of Our Aging Loved Ones.

It's amazing how much information you packed into each hour.

My mother-in-law has been living with my family for over 10 years now and I was so glad to find your course. It has such insightful information and wonderful tips. I wish this had been around ten years ago.

Thank you so much for pulling all of this information together.

Many thanks,

  Hi.

I've only listened to one of the teleseminars so far, but it was the most helpful information I've found anywhere about this topic.  So glad I found this package of materials; it is all in one place and will save me hours of research.

Where can you go to get information about:

Paying for long-term care, whether at home or in assisted living

Dealing with Alzheimer’s

A step-by-step guide for having “the conversation” with your parents about their
      future living arrangements

Caregiving from a distance

Coping with the anger, guilt, and other emotions of caregiving

Cooperating with siblings

Maintaining your sanity

What’s legal and what’s not

Why can’t someone just tell us what we need to know all in one place at one time, and let us learn about it at our own pace?

Now you can

Out of this heart-wrenching situation with my mother and the never-ending search for answers came Our Aging Loved Ones: Planning for the Day We Hope Will Never Come, a 12-part series about eldercare and caregiving, covering the 12 most popular topics related to taking care of elderly loved ones.

But what makes this so special?

I realize that you may know some of these experts… you may be on their mailing lists… and you may already know some (or even a lot) about eldercare and caregiving. But let me explain.

You could do the research yourself—spend hours in front of the computer, in the library, and in bookstores finding doctors, authors, speakers, geriatric care managers, and senior financial planners to tell you what you want to know.

You could read books, websites, subscribe to newsletters, listen to talk shows, and run out of time before you got all the answers.

Or you could get everything in one place in one convenient format

Out of my own personal search to help my parents, I located 12 of the world’s foremost eldercare experts to pack over 14 HOURS of information into one course. I wanted to save you and other baby boomers just like us time and money in getting the answers we need.

I spent hours finding these exact people. Then I spoke with them at length about what YOU wanted to know most about their areas of expertise—the questions they were most frequently asked by people just like you and me. Together we agreed on the questions they would answer and the topic they would cover.

And I’ve gotta tell you. They did a GREAT job!

Here’s just a brief list of some of the strategies and secrets they shared with me on your behalf

But now I was faced with an incredible dilemma

When I originally decided to release these interviews, I was going to offer them on CD so you could take them with you and listen to them in your car on your way to and from work. But I realized that not everyone listens to CD’s. And, more importantly… the cost. CD’s would have set the price at $497. But my conscience wouldn’t allow me to do that and neither would your budget.

So I decided to calculate from a different direction. I would charge $29.95 per interview. That seemed entirely fair and reasonable. Since every single one of these experts is extremely busy, $29.95 for one hour of their time, one-on-one, was a tremendous bargain. But when I calculated it out, the cost came to $359. Once again, I didn’t want to do that to you. That didn’t seem fair either.

Instead I settled on $297. That was perfect—less than $25 per interview and the information was still great. I could live with that amount and feel good about the quality of the product.

But then I realized…

If you’re dealing with an elder parent and you’re having to make ends meet with medical expenses, living expenses, and maybe even hired help, you shouldn’t be expected to pay that much. And all of the experts told me the same thing, “I want to get this information out there... People need to know this... I just want to help.”

So I knocked another $50 off of the price just to help you.

How can I afford to do this?

Well, along with all of the experts in this course, I, too, want to share with you what I learned. And I would rather offer something to help you plan for the day you hope will never come. So instead of producing multiple CD's, I decided it would be more efficient in time and cost to put everything on one single PC-only data CD. Less manufacturing cost, less shipping cost.. less hassle... easier all the way around. These recordings are rather large... some over 50 meg... and if you're on dialup, you don't have hours to sit at your computer to download all these files. So at $127 you will have everything conveniently packaged and ready to go. This way, I can sleep at night knowing that I’ve given you the tools you need at an affordable price.

The choice is yours

But I’m not stopping there. I know how much information is packed into this course and just having the ability to listen at your own pace, on your own schedule, your own way isn’t enough.

Included on the CD with all 12 recordings, you will also receive:

Bonus #1
12 Individual Transcripts—one for each interview
Because we all learn differently, I’ve included the transcripts for each interview. Print them out, write notes in the margins, highlight key points, whatever works best for you. Put them in a notebook so you can refer to them again and again.

Bonus #2
1 HUMONGOUS transcript of the entire course
Now, you might be wondering why you would want this if you already have the 12 individual transcripts listed above. And I would agree with your curiosity. Here’s the reason. This file is not designed to be printed out (although you could if you really wanted to). It’s designed to find exactly what you want to know about. Open the PDF file, click on the binoculars icon at the top, and enter the key word or phrase you are interested in to see every time it is mentioned. By searching the entire course at once, you can find all references to your topic and then listen to those interviews first, giving you the quickest access to what you need to know. Sometimes time is of the essence.

Bonus #3
Desktop Organizer
If you're taking care of someone, you don't have a lot of time to search through piles of papers to find the information you received from the doctor yesterday. You need to have everything conveniently located in one place for reference. This PC-only desktop organizer allows you to take notes, keep a diary, set appointments (with reminders), store URL's, email addresses, and other important contact information for everyone associated with your caregiving responsibilities, and even play MP3 files directly from inside the organizer. And with the handy Search feature, you'll never lose that important information again. Just search your notes and you're back in control. An indispensible tool for caregivers.

Bonus #4
Remember Me Video
You've seen it on YouTube and people are talking about it everywhere you go. This poignant yet intimate reminder of our elders' love and concern for us will help you stay focused on your eldercare journey. Now you can have it on your own computer.

Bonus #5
Project Resources List
A full list of each of the eldercare experts included in this course, their URL and email address. Visit their websites, sign up for their ezines or newsletters, and find even more helpful tips for specific situations. All of the information in one convenient list.

But what if you don't have a CD drive on your PC? What if you have a Mac? What if you just want the information and don't need the Project Resources List, or the other great bonuses? Well, I've got you covered. I have a second option available. I've created a download-only version of the course that will still provide all the information from our eldercare experts. Check out the comparison chart below to see what is included in the download-only version of the course. Then decide which one is right for you.

So I’ll make this worth your while…

You can even keep the information as my way of saying “thank you” for giving it a try.

 
Dear Cindi,
 
Thanks so much for putting together such a thorough set of information about elder care.  I can't tell you just how important these subjects are for our family.  My parents are into their 80's and still as active as can be, but little by little they are slowing down.  We're thankful for each day with them, but also worried that something could happen any day.  And as they get older, that worry just continues to grow...
 
Only someone who personally understands those worries could put together all the resources you have gathered.  What a blessing to have all that wise advice in one package!  I especially love the search feature, so that we can find just the info we want right when we need it.  You truly thought of everything!
 
Thanks again for caring enough to put this program together and share it with all of us.  It's a tremendous blessing in our lives, and I know it will bless many other families as well.
 
All the best
Ellen K.
Fort Worth, Texas


 

A word of warning though…

The price is so low that I can’t guarantee it will stay where it is. I can only guarantee this low price to the next 1,000 customers. And since this is the first time this much information on eldercare has been available in one place, there’s no way to know how long this low price will be available.

(Several corporations are asking about multiple copies for their employees.)

So order today just to make sure you don’t miss out. You have absolutely no risk and everything to gain from this offer. I am taking all the risk so you don’t have to.

But remember… I will only guarantee the low price to the next 1,000 buyers. So it would be a good idea to order now while you’re here. Just click one of the buttons below to Buy Now.

To purchase the CD version containing all the bonuses listed above, click the button below.

To purchase the downloadable version including 12 interviews and 12 transcripts, click the link below.

Don’t put this off. If you leave now without buying, you may forget about this and when your phone rings in the middle of the night… or you remember, whichever comes first… the price may have gone up. So buy now to avoid missing this valuable opportunity. Order now.

Once you’ve listened to the interviews and started implementing some of the suggestions, I would love to hear from you. I want to hear about your success, your hope, your new-found confidence in the knowledge that you are prepared. Nothing can compare with the love you have for your parents and aging loved ones. Feel free to share your own story.

Warmest regards,

Cindi Dawson

P. S. This isn’t a high pressure salesletter. I don’t like them and I don’t think they work.

If you are not 100% satisfied with the quality of the information in this course, let me know and your money will be happily refunded. I just don’t want you to be caught off guard like I was.
