ABOUT ME
Although I retired a few years ago, I am still receiving questions and concerns from both the adult child and the senior about how to face and negotiate the aging years. It is indeed an ongoing process!
We haven't experienced this stage of life before. Even if we helped our parents and we are experiencing our own senior years, things change, and new issues emerge. Questions remain.
So I thought I would try to "get the word out" through this blog. Hopefully this will help folks to navigate the senior years.
Happy Aging!
Sue
UNWRAPPING THE SANDWICH GENERATION
Want to hold Sue's wisdom in your hands? Her book, Unwrapping the Sandwich Generation is a collection of vignettes that address senior concerns and how their adult children address those concerns. You'll find the stories you've enjoyed reading and the helpful information you've found on this blog site and more.
Order a copy for yourself and perhaps also for a family member or friend who is facing their parent's aging concerns.

Please be advised that while I cannot personally recommend any one of these agencies, I have heard good things about them. However, you are responsible for doing your own research and due diligence.
