BoomerTime with Nancy Cogar

Caregiving is one of the most stressful seasons you can find yourself. Caregiving for an aging parent can be genuinely, measurably stressful — the research consistently shows it affects mental health, physical health, finances, and careers. Here's what the data says.

63 million Americans — nearly 1 in 4 adults — provided ongoing care for an adult or a child with a complex medical condition or disability in the past year, an increase of 20 million last ten years. (AARP/National Alliance for Caregiving) 

To my caregivers, I’m going to ask you some uncomfortable questions in this episode. You don’t have to tell me your answers. But I do want you to answer them for yourself. Show Notes: https://nancycogar.com/10-questions-caregivers-are-afraid-to-ask/

At age 18, your kids are adults in the eyes of the law and this can be scary when sending them off to college. Without further legal protections like a Healthcare POA or Financial POA, parents are left in the dark about important concerns. A POA for a child over 18 gives you access to medical information, financial records and grades. Without this, you cannot make these important decisions for them should they need it.

I've included a resource with this episode to help you plan for your adult child's future in the show notes below.

In this episode, I want to check on my caregivers out there. I, too, am a caregiver and have walked the walk. So I hope that my take on caregiving challenges can be of help to those of you who are new to the role or are feeling pressed against the wall when providing care to a loved one. I talk about the "one willing child" phenomenon, the physical and mental toll of caregiving, and the sacrifices one makes to their career and their finances in the name of caregiving.

I've included a free resource to help you navigate caregiving and better understand what to expect -- from one caregiver to another. I salute you.
