The Key To Not Losing Yourself When Dealing With Aging Parents

Getting Better With Age

Facing a sudden health scare of my mother during an important family event was a stark reminder that life happens for us, not against us.
This wake-up call, during our son's graduation, had us grappling with the tough choices that come with the territory of having aging parents. It sparked a deeper conversation that we're sharing in this episode about transforming the trials and tribulations of life into life-enhancing experiences. This isn't a call for passive acceptance of life's challenges, but rather an invitation to actively engage in making the coming decades the best years of our life.
We're pulling up the curtain on the complexities of caregiving and sharing how to love and support aging parents without taking on their burdens. This journey isn't easy, it's fraught with stress, guilt from traditional family roles, and the heartbreak of watching our parents grapple with their own mortality. But, we're here to lend a hand, sharing our own experiences and insights, and discussing how to ensure you're there for your parents without losing yourself in the process. We're also touching upon the importance of rallying your siblings or other family members to share responsibilities and how to empathize with parents who may have lost their social network. Our hope is to help you navigate this overwhelming, yet inevitable, stage of life with grace and resilience.
