Woke up (and later than I wanted) to take my mom with dementia to her doctor's appointment. I am blessed to have parents that are still alive. However, watching your vital, beautiful loved ones age and get sick takes its toll. The care of parents is something so many of us at 50 and over share but rarely discuss. If you also care for elderly parents, make sure to take some 'me' time out for self-care. Estate planning, health care system, and caregivers, all of it needs to be put into place and maintained. We *also* need, as caregivers, to care for ourselves. If you are in the same boat as I am, sending you massive love and good vibes. It's so hard. xo
