A book about family caregiving
Impending Burden
Too Many Boomers Who Need Care, Too Few Resources
By Tom Olivo, with a foreword by Jim Nathan
Impending Burden follows five families through the years when a parent or spouse needs more help than anyone planned for. Tom Olivo surrounds their stories with the numbers that show these families are not alone, and with practical first steps for the house, the money and the conversations nobody wants to start. My family is one of the five, and chapter 9 tells how Tugboat began. Tom is sharing the October 2026 reader edition free, with his permission, for anyone who could use it.
