Summer 2025 has arrived. The beach, hiking trails, travel adventures and more beckon us. Unexpected upheaval and uncertainty gripped many countries around the world this past year. The time for some genuine rest and relaxation is overdue. Though CFC cannot offer you a day or week or month off, we have chosen a topic for our annual one-day Summer Conference this year that may get your mind off of the societal stressors for a day, and redirect your focus inward. While the conference focuses on how one bridges existing generational cutoffs, this essay is an example of a case study of an individual who inherits a position in a triangle after someone has died. The question is, must one inevitably accept that inheritance, and continue to amplify the anxiety in the system, or can one member of the new triangle avert the cutoff, thereby avoiding a downward spiral into a cutoff that will impact future generations of the family?
