Navigating the River of Aging (Paperback)

Baby boomers: live zestfully as we age well into our 90's. Are you part of the sandwich generation trying to help your aging parents with issues they face as well as finding time for your own family? Juggling the needs of your grandchildren and tending to the needs of your own parents can be a challenge. For instance, Is it time to turn to turn in the car keys? What about downsizing - where do you start? Learn about the term "universal design" and get the scoop on aging in place. You'll get tips for accommodating your changing needs. Do you have a family member who is dealing with dementia or Alzheimer's? Lost your job before you were ready? Find out what really works to get another one. Feeling the effects of the empty nest? And then there's body shaping-information that's key if you are in denial about your changing body. Are you the caregiver for someone? Have you had the Big Talk with your parents? You'll find tips and answers to common concerns in Navigating the River of Aging. This is your go-to book for quick answers to the issues you and your parents face today. Marilyn Slaby, an advocate for her elder clients, and a consultant for their boomer children, has written a book that will guide you through some of the most common concerns people have today. As owner of There For You since 2005, Marilyn has become a trustworthy colleague to the many who rely on her expertise as she helps them find solutions to the issues they live with everyday. Marilyn believes aging for today's boomers will be vastly different than it is for their parent's generation.
