Stories and experience, not professional advice.

When I write about ageing, dementia, caring for parents, grief, funerals, wills or digital estates, I’m sharing what I’ve learned and lived. It isn’t medical, legal, financial or psychological advice. Every family is different, so please talk to a qualified professional before making decisions about your own situation.

I trained as a Registered Nurse in South Korea and hold a Diploma of Nursing from Australia. I’m not currently registered with AHPRA, so nothing on this site is clinical advice.

About the stories.

My family stories are true, told the way I remember and feel them. Like any memoir, some moments are shaped for the page. Stories from aged care are always anonymised: names, places and details are changed, and some people are composites of several residents, so no one can be identified.

How AI is used.

I use AI tools to help with research, editing, images and photo restoration. A person reads and approves every post before it’s published. You can read more in the Editorial & AI Policy.

Ads and outside links.

This site may show ads, including Google AdSense, which help keep it running. Ads are chosen by Google, not by me, and an ad appearing here isn’t an endorsement. I also link to other websites I find useful, but I can’t control what they publish. If I ever use affiliate links, I’ll say so clearly on that page. To see how cookies and ads use your information, please read the Privacy Policy.
