This book takes a holistic approach to retirement for pre-retirees and retirees. Rather than just focusing on financial matters for retirement, this book explores the 4 Keys to a Safe Retirement: Financial Preparedness, Health &amp; Wellness, Mental Attitude and Staying Involved! Many people are thrust into retirement, ill equipped to handle the various aspects of retirement, above and beyond just the financial matters! When Jack Tatar lost both his retired mother and father in the course of six months, he heard all about how this can be a common occurrence among the elderly and retired. As one of the world's leading market researchers, Jack was used to asking "why?" What he heard consistently through his research with retirees and their families was, "There's plenty of books and materials about being financially prepared for retirement, but there aren't books and resources that consider all of the aspects that are needed to consider when someone retires. How to take care of their health? What to do with their free time? How to stay connected to friends and create more friends? How to stay positive when your family and friends are moving away and/or dying? Ultimately, they need to understand how to create a safe retirement." This book is the result of the research, findings and experiences that led Jack to create a book that, as he says in the book's dedication to his parents, "is a book that I wish they 'd been able to read before they died." It's a book written for the person considering retirement, the person newly retired, or the person well into retirement, as well as for a friend or a child of any of these individuals. The 4 Keys to a Safe Retirement will help the reader to: - Create a financial plan - Manage your retirement income - Understand the complexities of vital programs such as Medicare and Social Security - Manage your health and learn how to eat healthy - Recognize that exercise is no longer optional and how to make it part of your life - Create a positive attitude that will lead to a longer life - Learn to cope with the difficulties that will occur in retirement such as losing loved ones and being a caregiver - Appreciate the opportunities for travel and volunteering - How to use new technologies and social media to connect with others - And so much more It's not just a book! It's also a dynamic resource that includes full access to a companion website, www.Safe4Retirement.com, which provides the latest up to date, relevant information on retirement topics.

Have you had "the talk" yet? No, this isn't the one you have with your kids about sex, hoping you actually know more than they do. This talk is the one adult children have with their parents about their parents' retirement and aging and such concerns as medical proxies, healthcare and estate planning, wills, trusts, and the fact that 70% of people over age 65 will require some form of long-term care. This book focuses on the talk and incorporates Jack Tatar's innovative Four Keys approach to a safe retirement. By following Jack's game plan laid out in his book, you will understand • What the talk is and why it's important to have it earlier, rather than later. • How to start the talk with your parents and use talking points to keep them engaged. • What to discuss during the talk, ensuring that all the important topics and details are covered. • How to create, maintain, and review a financial plan for retirement. • The latest up-to-date information on health matters pertaining to retirees. • How to maintain a positive attitude in retirement. • How to create an effective social structure and network for retirees. The talk is often not a single discussion, but rather something that's ongoing and detailed. It will help create a safe retirement for your parents and peace of mind for your entire family. It will also provide adult children with the understanding they'll need when considering their own retirement and an appreciation of the value and importance of having this talk with their own children. Like Jack's previous books, Safe 4 Retirement: The Four Keys to a Safe Retirement and The 10 Joys of a Safe Retirement, this new book will change the way you think about retirement. The talk will bring families together so that they stay together.

Kevin and Jodi O'Donnell, were a young New Jersey couple busy raising a toddler and making plans for their future when they received life-altering news in 1995 that changed everything as they knew it. Kevin was only 30 years old when he was told that his health problems were the result of a rare, terminal disease called ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), or Lou Gehrig's disease. Kevin and Jodi had not heard of ALS until then and had no idea how those three letters would challenge everything they thought to be certain. After more than 20 years of working with ALS families, Jodi realized that more information and better resources could be available to help families who are coming to grips with the challenges of the disease and the caregiving responsibilities that are involved. In the Introduction to "Someone I Love Has ALS: A Family Caregiver's Guide," Jodi recounts the journey she took as a caregiver, advocate and writer and embraces and shares the lessons learned throughout the pages of this wonderful guide, "This guide was created by a variety of caregivers and professionals who have years of experience with various aspects of ALS. It was written by volunteers and experts who care about ALS and your journey. It is the resource that I wish we had received along with the shocking diagnosis." Although Kevin died of ALS in 2001 at the age 35, the disease never won the battle. ALS only strengthened Kevin and Jodi's love for God and each other and it created an even bigger purpose and plan: the creation of Hope Loves Company(R), the only non-profit whose mission is to support the children and grandchildren caregivers of PALS (people with ALS).

When someone you love is hospitalized, it can be scary-even terrifying-for the patient and for family and friends. A hospital may seem like a foreign land. Sounds, smells, and the culture are unfamiliar; even the medical terminology sounds like a different language. Understanding the hospital environment and knowing how to navigate its complicated pathways can make you a strong champion for your loved one. You are as critical to your loved one's recovery as the doctors and nurses. Your role is different, but vital. In some cases, you can make the difference between life and death. Hospital Warrior de-mystifies the process and provides the tools, understanding and insight you need to get the best care for your loved one. Based on Bonnie Friedman's own experiences fighting for her husband's healthcare needs for more than 24 years and through 14 separate hospitalizations, Hospital Warrior lays out in direct, simple terms hard-learned and time-tested tactics to help ensure a loved one's medical needs are met. Hospital Warrior also includes checklists and interviews with doctors and other healthcare professionals who provide essential tips and advice for the reader. If you have a loved one in the hospital, don't leave home without this book. Praise for Hospital Warrior "Hospital Warrior isn't just about advocating; it's about saving lives. Bonnie Friedman delves deep into the hospital setting, and provides valuable insights, wisdom and tips to help readers get the best possible medical care for the ones they love. She knows what she's talking about and it shows. Read her book before someone you know has to go to the hospital." -- Heidi Godman, health journalist, host of Health Check with Heidi Godman on WSRQ-FM, Sarasota, FL. "Hospital Warrior is more than a how-to book on how to advocate for a loved one. It is like having a smart, savvy friend with you every step of the way, helping you get the best hospital care for someone you love. Bonnie Friedman has learned the ropes, and she'll help you learn them too." - Mindy Utay, LCSW, JD, couples and family therapist, psychoanalyst, writer, lecturer, official blogger for the Huffington Post "Ms. Friedman has assembled a well-researched guide to help family and friends navigate the complex environment of modern hospitals. Packed with helpful information, Hospital Warrior was invaluable to me during my husband's three-week stay in intensive care following heart surgery that led to a stroke. The book helped me decipher medical terms, understand treatments and identify appropriate questions to ask amidst the emotional turmoil I faced when my husband was seriously ill. The extensive reference section was also helpful as my husband passed through acute rehab to sub-acute care during recovery." - Susan Fleming, Annandale, VA
