Welcome to Relative Care, a blog dedicated to supporting people who care for their elderly family members. Whether you are caring for an elderly parent, grandparent or simply someone who is “family” to you, I hope you will find my posts beneficial to your life and to the loved one you care for. If you are facing this challenge yourself or have any personal or professional knowledge in this topic, I invite you to share by posting to this blog. — Nadine
Nadine, I am so moved by your description of your mother clutching her purse. As a daughter and a mother, I feel the pull of responsibility for my parents’ care and the fear of dependence on my own child someday. My parents say that they will never, no matter what, inflict their burden on me. What they don’t understand is how much I love them.
Kudos for such a professional-looking and heart-felt blog. I really love it! Tyler
Thanks, Tyler!
