Stories That Live In Us

You Lose Them Twice (with Julie Taggart) | Episode 23


Listen Later

We call ourselves Gen X women but many of us are quickly becoming the “sandwich generation.” It’s a term that invokes feelings of being squeezed between raising children, welcoming grandchildren, and caring for aging parents all while juggling never ending demands on our time and emotions.

With six children ranging in age from 11 to 21 and a mother succumbing to dementia, my friend (and cousin) Julie Taggart, is managing this season of her life so beautifully.  That doesn’t mean it isn’t hard.  Sometimes heartbreakingly so.  But, her focus is firmly fixed on faith and family allowing her to find meaning through the experience.

And family history plays a major role in how she navigates the constant transitions in her life by giving her perspective and opportunities to deeply connect with her family - past, present, and future.

Listen in on our conversation to hear how we discovered we are related and the role a family tree chart played in that discovery and, more importantly, in the family culture Julie has created.
