As more baby boomers become both “sandwich generationers” and seniors, the need to understand aging dynamics and family relationships increases dramatically. It’s not easy to become elderly or a parent to your parent(s). After all, our society “says” adults should be able to take care of themselves. But, as more live well into their 80s and 90s and families are dispersed across the country, everyone is going to be involved somehow, some way, in elder care. If not today, then tomorrow. That is why we are creating a networking group to support those who are going or will be going through this phase of life.
There are so many questions one faces during these years. So many concerns and without information and support this time of life can be consuming. If you know of anyone who would be interested in such a group, please invite them to join us. You do not need to be a member of or attend Unity to attend.
