 Introduction
to Navigating
Epic Aging & Inheritance Conflicts to Build Your Practice
Drama,
trauma greed, and crisis at end of life present angst and opportunity.
In fact, these are the elements of a Greek tragedy in which power,
control, sibling rivalry, patriarchal privilege, and other thorny
issues threaten to tear families apart.
John
O' Grady, J.D.
“In most cases,
the conflict is not about who inherits the dining room
table. It’s about the issues under the table that are just now seeing
the light of day.”
Growing
a thriving practice in service to conflicted families is a way to make
a profound and lasting impact at a critical time. Transforming regret,
repression, and depression into full self-expression – especially when
it is messy -- is cause for celebration.
