Caregiver Village

One of the problems that people in my age group often face is helping both their grown children (especially in today's economic situation) and at the same time their aging parents. There is a feeling of being sandwiched between those needs. Those years came from me some time back and now our four parents have been long dead with our children established well in their own lives. I do remember how it was though.

I got an email (actually a couple from one determined lady) about this online site where help for caregivers is to be found. If you are in that situation, you might give it a look to see if it might help you.


If we lived in a different culture, one that saw the community as a whole, where we all have needs and can help each other, this kind of thing would be less of a problem. We live though in a time of strained resources where one of our political parties believes it's every man for himself. At the same time, we live in a world where some see Jesus as the only answer to any physical problems and where others only worry about what's in it for them. It's not an easy time for the weak.

So, if you are one of those in a caregiving situation, check out the site to see if its resources can help you.
