Care Giving Realities

Taking care of family is something many baby boomers are starting to face.  Working, dealing with grown children and spending time helping your parents  has become more work than many had anticipated.

Some parents are fully independent and can live on their own, some need support  but can still live their own home or live in a insisted living home, while other need around the clock card of a total care facility.

Many try to go it alone and this can have drastic consequences on both their parents and the caregiver.  Check out this series from the PBS show Life Part 2

Life (Part 2) Caregiving - Can caring for an ailing loved one kill you? "Yes," say health professionals. When Baby Boomers care for aging parents, frequently the last person they're thinking about is themselves. This can be deadly.

Facing the Future Together

There are many challenges that face the Boomer Generation when it comes to tending to a beloved parent(s).


 There is constant worry and guilt – are you spending enough time with them, how can you fit in the time for doctors’ appointments, phone calls, helping with little chores……dealing with other family members. So often we lose ourselves in the chaos of helping others. This is normal, and you are not alone!

Boomer Sandwich

The baby boomers have lived an active life, but now they are sandwiched by young adult children moving back home and the added responsibility of taking care of aging parents.


Boomers are coming to terms with the their own mortality too. Many are used to a running marathons, skiing in dangerous terrain or biking long distances, but their bodies can't seem to keep up.
