Ask Marsha · The Family Care Compass

Ask Marsha

Happy New Year, everyone!! 🎉

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and that 2026 is starting off on the right foot for you.

One of the new features I’m introducing this year is something I’m calling “Ask Marsha.”

This is your space to ask any question you have as you step in to support a loved one who needs a little extra help.

You may be just beginning your caregiving journey, or you may already be deep into navigating life with an aging loved one. Either way, questions come up — and no question is too small, too big, or too specific.

Here’s how it works:

👉Post your question in the comments so the group can see it and reflect on how they might handle a similar situation.

👉Then, every Friday, I’ll share answers, tips, and practical guidance in response to your questions.

To give you a sense of what real life caregiving looks like — just in the past week alone, I’ve dealt with medication changes, health insurance issues, and an entire room full of mail (and yes, I mean every single piece of mail saved for a year 😅).

So go ahead — post your questions, and let’s see how I can help with some practical tips and helpful hints.
