Let’s Catch Up – We are the ‘Sandwich Generation’

I really enjoyed my chat with Tina as we unpacked the emotional impact of seeing our parents age. As members of the ‘sandwich generation,’ many of us find ourselves balancing life between young adult children and aging parents, making it a topic worth discussing.

We explore the guilt of not being able to provide constant care, the balancing act between personal freedom and caregiving responsibilities, and the importance of living life to the fullest. Tina shares her experiences, including heartfelt conversations with her mother about end-of-life wishes and the emotional journey of sorting through a lifetime of memories in her home.

Our conversation also touches on sibling dynamics, the need for supportive communities, and the benefits of staying connected as we age. It’s a tricky time for us midlifers, and this open conversation with Tina offers valuable insights and support for anyone navigating this challenging phase of life.
