## Resource

A 74-year-old woman worries her sister’s nightly wine habit might be hiding something, but Annie Lane says it’s her business to gently check in—out of care, not control. Meanwhile, a widow who found solace in friends after her husband’s Parkinson’s death now wants to support a new friend facing the same diagnosis. She’ll offer resources and a listening ear without sharing painful details, reminding us that presence and empathy matter more than comparisons. The takeaway? Show up, listen, and let others guide the conversation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
