Offering support when you're
caring for those who first cared for you
Last year, a new group
called the "Sandwich
Generation" was formed
in our church, designed to serve
persons who are “sandwiched” between having children at home and
elderly parents who need care and support. Together
we found we could care for each other by sharing stories and
experiences, raising questions and getting feedback from others
who'd faced similar circumstances, and hearing from expert guest
speakers who spoke on topics including legal and financial
matters for the elderly, spiritual issues we all face as we age,
how to help parents continue to live safely in their homes, and
where to look for help if they can no longer take care of
themselves.
We know "Sandwich Generation"
people are busy juggling responsibilities for their own families
and careers as well as loving and caring for their parents or
other relatives, so we try not to waste anyone's time. We
solicit feedback from attendees about what topics they'd like
covered, and this fall we're developing a helpful "lending
library" of articles, books, and videos that people may borrow.
Anyone is welcome at "Sandwich
Generation" meetings, whether they are church members or not. We
usually meet once a month, on a Tuesday.
For more information, contact a
member of the "Sandwich Generation" planning team: Robin Mosleth,
Steve Mortonson, or Bill Crise, or Pastor Janet.
