Taking life one cup at a time…
This Guest Post comes from By Sean Abraham, LCSW, Grow Therapy. As my husband and I find ourselves feeling the crunch of the Sandwich Generation, I felt that this was a great post to feature on the blog. In addition to these tips for self-care while caring for aging parents, you can make use of …
My dad’s gone. I’ve been trying to process this now for almost three weeks, and it still doesn’t quite make sense to me. I’m not sure how the world can exist without my dad in it. No one prepares you for how utterly weird it is to exist in a world when both your parents …
I woke up early this morning, I haven’t been sleeping well – either waking up way too early or going to sleep way too late. I’ve been thinking about life a lot lately, as one does, I suppose, when one starts losing the people who raised them – and when they’re an age where they …

I have no idea what to title this post. It’s been a while since I’ve posted, I have a HUGE backlog of reviews to share, and I’m finally catching up. Knock. On. Wood. The last few years have been a constant barrage of waves of life stuff. To be honest, I’m quite tired of the …
