It’s Friday and it’s the start of 2 religious celebrations: Easter and Purim. We hope your holidays and the upcoming weekend provide you with the quality family and friends time yo deserve. Today, I am listing some sites and blogs that you may find helpful.
The blog, GenBetween, is a great blog for resources for both the sandwich generation and those of us who may not be sandwiched between 2 generations but between work and caring for older parents. Today it listed some stories and resources for caregivers. You can find it here.
If you want to see the other side of healthcare, from professionals perspective, as discussion of healthcare policy and laws and more are found, then click here.

If you like finding tips for cooking, cleaning and more, all related to the over 65 crowd, you can go here.

HI There,
I hope it’s appropriate to let you know of my blog, It’s Mothering Mother and More at caroldodell.caroldodell.wordpress.com/. I write about the heart of the caregiver–humor, grace, the intellect, creativity, and spirituality of caregiving that is sometimes overlooked.
It’s also an honest, candid look at the darker side that can be sugar-coated when caregiving is anything but–it’s about families and loved ones digging in deep and figuring out one day at a time–with limited resources and challenges that range from cantankerous loved ones to unbelievably difficult medical and financial frustrations.
I cared for my mom for close to 19 years, the last three in my home (she had Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s) while raising our three teenage daughters, juggling marriage and my own sense of womanhood and purpose. I also share about what it’s like at the end and the inevitable healing power of grief and transformation caregivers go through after their loved ones leave this world.
There are so many great blogs out there now, and I hope that I have something to offer to families who get up all hours of the night and remain steadfast, patient, and loving when it’s not pretty, and not easy.
Thanks for allowing me to share.
