About the chapter
When Isabel's father passed away, she became the family decision maker overnight. The chapter walks through what she learned the hard way: how to start the conversations no one wants to start, how to divide the work without dividing the family, and how to keep caring for yourself while you care for everyone else.
It's short, honest, and practical. Read it in one sitting, then come back to the parts that match where you are right now.
