Strength for the sandwich generation : help to thrive while simultaneously caring for our kids and our aging parents / Kristine Bertini.
Multigenerational caregiving has become a prevalent phenomenon in the generation of Baby Boomers. Nurturing children as they rapidly evolve and grow as individuals while simultaneously assisting elderly parents to live with - and then exit life with - dignity and respect can be a trying experience. The good news: there can be great joy in this capacity as well. 'Strength for the Sandwich Generation: help to thrive while simultaneously caring for our kids' addresses the multiple complexities that arise for the millions of middle-aged adults caring for both their children and their elders, providing the caregiver with resources and information that includes strategies for caring for the self, children, and elders, handling financial strain and addressing moral and ethical dilemmas.
