We’re honored to share that Kimberly Butler Rainen was featured as an Expert Contributor in the November 2025 issue of Andover Living magazine.
In her article, “When Love Means Looking Closer: The Holiday Conversations That Change Everything,” Kim addresses a topic close to many families’ hearts during the holiday season–recognizing when aging parents may need additional support.
The holidays bring families together in ways no other season can, and these gatherings often provide the first opportunity in months to truly see our loved ones. Kim’s article offers practical guidance on what to look for, how to approach difficult conversations with compassion, and when it may be time to discuss important legal planning decisions like powers of attorney and healthcare directives.
“Sometimes the most profound act of love is simply seeing clearly, and having the courage to act on what we see,” Kim writes in the piece.
As an estate planning and elder law attorney deeply rooted in the Andover community, Kim understands that these conversations aren’t just about legal documents, but about protecting the people and values that matter most to us.
