~ An Intergenerational Journey ~
A Daughter's Journey
As a member of the boomer generation, it seems like nearly every friend and acquaintance, even a random stranger with whom I strike up a conversation, is involved in some level of caregiving for an elderly friend or relative. No longer aided by multi-generational families in close connect, we are often at a loss as to how to cope.
In the vein of Eat, Pray, Love meets Tuesdays with Morrie, A BRIDGE BETWEEN follows the journey of the aged. By my parents' side, I have found this journey to be more a leap of faith than a free fall towards certain death, a jump best taken hand in hand and not alone. Where to turn? How to get through the paperwork? I am not a gerontological guru. I can only share the tears and laughter of my own experiences.
As millions of us confront long-term parental care, en masse, A BRIDGE BETWEEN offers a socially relevant look at how familial roles are reshaped by time.
