Caregiving

A lot of caregiving content assumes one thing: that caring for aging parents automatically feels loving, reciprocal, and emotionally uncomplicated. For some people, it doesn’t.

Somewhere between a follow-up appointment and reheating coffee for the third time, we sat down and said, “Okay… what are we actually doing here?” It wasn’t a grand plan.

“Aging in place” sounds like the dream for a reason. It’s familiar, comfortable, and theirs. No leaving behind the life they built, just continuing on in the home that holds their memories.

People talk about it like it's a weakness. Like it means you couldn’t handle the pressure, but most psychologists describe burnout as something much simpler. A signal.

The “Sandwich Generation” is exactly what it sounds like: people simultaneously caring for aging parents while raising children or supporting adult kids.
