Description
Many adults are in the interesting position of caring for ailing/aging parents while simultaneously raising their own children. The term Sandwich Generation has been used to label this phase of life. Taking all of the stressors involved in being a caretaker to both young and old and then adding in career responsibilities can be overwhelming. This session will discuss one woman’s journey through this phase of life.
