There is a fairly new term that was coined a few years ago. That term is “sandwich generation. This is the term used to describe people who have children and elderly parents to care for. These are the people humming along in life, working the way up the ladder of success, raising a family, having grandpa and grandma help out with the kids when all of a sudden, it hits us like a ton of bricks. Moms getting old. She cannot take care of herself anymore. Often times her husband is still with her but other times not. There are several issues these sandwich generation people need to address. I am one of those sandwich people.
Our purpose in writing this blog is to provide laypersons successes, failures and suggestions as to how to deal with an aging mother. Things the doctors do not tell you nor will help you with. I continued to care for my mother until she died in 2004. This blog is a self-help guide to make your life easier when dealing with your senior mother.
“Taking Care of Mom” is short and to the point. It is not full of a bunch of hype or fluff. It simply addresses issues and creates awareness on getting old. With that said, let’s get to our first lesson.
The first lesson will be posted soon. Please subscribe to be notified of new postings.
