In 2018, my mom fell out of bed and was admitted to the hospital with worsening hallucinations. Two weeks later my dad died unexpectedly. My older sister is cognitively disabled, so not only did I become her guardian overnight, but I was left alone to close out my dad’s life.

My mom at that same time was diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia (that’s what Robin Williams had.) She had to be put in a nursing home at 69-years-old and had zero assets. I battled the healthcare system and the bank all while trying to salvage our broken relationship seeped in jealousy.

In the middle of my trauma, as overwhelmed as I was, I knew I wasn’t the only going through this or who will go through this. I realized that many Baby Boomers were dying with their health and finances shrouded in secrets. And us GenXer’s are left to pick up the pieces as we try to help with the flawed survival strategies learned from childhood.

I knew there was a story here to be told.

So I wrote it.

Thank you @jamestabeek for being such a great writing partner.

Now the producer hat is on as we move into development. Looking for producers, a production company and investors for this $2.5M film.

Let the next adventure begin!
