The First 72 Hours

Your parent just had an emergency. Nobody tells you what to do first.

The First 72 Hours is a calm, step-by-step action plan for adult children suddenly managing a parent's hospitalization or decline — what to do, in what order, with the exact scripts and forms most families learn about too late. Yours the moment you buy.

It usually starts with a phone call.

A fall. A stroke. A diagnosis. And suddenly you're the one in charge — of medications you can't name, accounts you can't access, and decisions you never agreed to make.

Then come the walls nobody warns you about:

There are $159 organizer boxes for families who got organized years ago.
There is almost nothing for the 72 hours after it's already happened.

That's what this is.

A plan built around your situation — not a one-size-fits-all checklist.

Open the guide and start with the path that matches today: your parent is in the hospital right now, declining at home, or nothing has happened yet and you're getting ahead of it. Inside:

36pages, printable
3start-here paths
10+word-for-word scripts
50states + D.C. covered

A clean 36-page PDF you can print, share with siblings, and carry into the bank — on your screen the moment you buy.

For scale: one hour with an elder law attorney runs $300+. A care manager's assessment, $300–$600. The organizer boxes for families who planned years ahead, $159. This is $29 — and it's in your hands in sixty seconds.

Built by a small team using deep research into the walls families actually hit — bank POA rejections, federal authorization forms, discharge timelines — and the real words of caregivers who lived it. No legalese, no 300-page binder to fill out. Just the next right step, in order.

Is this legal advice?

No. This is educational guidance and organization — scripts, checklists, forms to ask about, and questions to bring to professionals. For legal documents like a POA or will, we point you to the right professional at the right moment.

My parent hasn't had an emergency yet. Is this still for me?

Yes — running the plan before the crisis is the best version of it. You'll close the gaps while it's easy.

What if my situation is complicated (dementia, siblings who disagree, parent in another state)?

The guide is built as paths and decision trees, not one prescription — and the three situations that change the playbook most (dementia, siblings who disagree, long-distance caregiving) get their own guidance throughout.

Why is the founding price $29?

You're buying the founding edition at the lowest price it will ever be sold for. As the guide grows with feedback from founding families, you get every update free — and the price goes up for everyone after you. Refund-protected either way.

Can't I find all of this online for free?

Most of it, yes — scattered across fifty tabs, government sites, and forum threads, with no order and no way to know what applies to you. What you're buying is the triage: what to do first, what can wait, the exact words to say, and the traps named before you hit them. At 2 a.m. in a hospital hallway, that's the difference that matters.

How do I get it, and when?

Checkout takes about a minute through Stripe. The moment payment goes through, you're on the download page — save the PDF and bookmark the page, and it's yours to come back to on any device. Free updates included.

Is my information private?

Yes. Payment is handled entirely by Stripe — we never see your card details. Your email is used only to deliver your guide and its free updates, and is never sold or shared.

You don't have to figure this out alone at 2 a.m.
