In early 2009 my life changed. While I had seen my parents starting to slip, mentally, I would never have imagined the journey I would be on. As an only child of two aging parents, it's been both an experience of personal growth, frustration and sentiment.
I've found little available to help families of older adults to navigate the process of helping parents get the care they need, despite their protests. I am hopeful this "blog" becomes a source for families around the US to come together, swap and share stories of triumph and despair, but above all, to develop a support network, albeit a virtual one.
My own stories about my parents will also be present. I hope you feel free to share!
