It's vital for those of us dealing with the Sandwich Generation issues of caring for elderly parents while juggling childrens' or even grandchildrens' needs to make sure we are also taking care of ourselves. I strive to make sure I spend time daily in prayer and in God's Word - I love His encouraging and inspirational Bible verses! They truly give me the "umph" to keep going. :) Thanks again for submitting this to the latest Boomers and Seniors: News You Can Use blog carnival at SandwichINK. Very good points!

We tend to overlook are our friends who are providing care to their parents. We need to offer our support. Even it is visiting with mom or dad, while our friend takes an hour or so to herself. @Patricia – I think you bring an important message to us.

I gave myself Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome which I am still attempting to recovery from and get back my energy and joie d'vie. I really did follow all of these items except the one about isolation from friends....support, other than paid support just disappeared and school officials were so nasty and down right belligerent....then throw in the police visits, being sued by my sister after making felony charges about handling of money,.....my child drove most folks away...wasn't even much support from my church community....because child was adopted people thought we just brought it on ourselves... After she broke her back my Mother became my greatest supporter as it did all the care giving...a bit like the two of us against the world...then Hospice finally did come into our last 6 months of mum's life and I was able to get a bath aid, time to do the grocery shopping, and have a Dr.'s appt myself and the greatest relief was a cleaning gal once a month.... Great post and important information sharing here. Thank you all As a person who had a special needs child still at home and a mother dying, I felt like a squished sandwich for nearly 8 years.
