How Do Generations Differ in Their Approach to Parental Caregiving?
Great article. As a baby boomer, perhaps the issues of fragility of all life, mortality of both the caregiver and the one/parent many times they are caring for. Relationships and dynamics between siblings and each other play an enormous role, as well. Maybe common w all families... we use the internet for alot of medical research from test results, med reports, to side effects of prescriptions. My sister and I found that research helped a gigantic amount in making decisions. Not everyone has thevpstience or inclination for this but it helped when meeting w doctors and making all kinds of care decisions.

I love this question and I'm very curious about it as well. As folks care for their aging parents, how is your current experience different than how your parents cared for their parents as they aged?
