Navigating Aging, Death, and Family

An intimate workshop designed for YPO Forums

This 4-hour workshop is designed for YPO Forums to explore mortality, address the challenges of aging parents, and develop effective caregiving strategies.

Through expert guidance, round-robin discussions, one-on-one exercises, and self-reflection, participants will gain practical tools and emotional clarity to navigate their loved ones’ aging process—while also deepening their own relationship with death, legacy, and personal aging.

Why This Workshop?

Aging and mortality are often unspoken, yet universal, experiences. This workshop provides a safe, structured space for YPO members to reflect, connect, and prepare.

Through shared experiences and guided discussions, participants will:

  • Uncover new perspectives on aging and caregiving

  • Develop empathy-driven strategies for navigating family dynamics

  • Cultivate a deeper understanding of their own journey

Members leave with a renewed sense of clarity, resilience, and confidence to navigate one of life’s most challenging transitions.

Benefits and Takeaways

  • Strengthen bonds with fellow YPO forum members

  • Learn constructive language for sensitive conversations
