Caring for Aging Parents: Lessons from the Sister Girl Sessions
In this episode of the Sister Girl Sessions podcast, hosts Niecee and Voni discuss their experiences and lessons learned while caring for their aging and ill mother, reflecting on the challenges faced by many in Generation X as they look after their baby boomer parents. The conversation covers the importance of thorough communication with healthcare providers, the emotional and physical toll of caregiving, maintaining dignity for the ill parent, and the necessity of proper legal and medical planning, such as power of attorney and healthcare proxies. They also highlight the value of having a support system and provide practical advice for others in similar situations.
