Our Story
Mom & Me
As the youngest of three, I never envisioned myself as the primary navigator caring for my elderly mom at this stage of our lives. Yet, here I am, a member of the so-called "sandwich generation," balancing the demands of raising my teenager, supporting my older husband and the unexpected responsibility of caring for my elderly mom. This new chapter began abruptly in early 2024 with the passing of mom's husband, propelling me into a role I hadn't anticipated but have grasped wholeheartedly, even with the many wobbles along the way.

A Breath of Fresh Air: Celebrating Mom's Thriving Health and Happiness
It brings me so much happiness to share some truly wonderful news about Mom. After a challenging year, we've had over two months without a single emergency, and for those of us on a caregiving journey, we know just how huge that is. It truly gives new meaning to appreciating each day to its fullest.
Mom is not only doing remarkably well, but she's also blossoming! She's been actively socializing, full of happiness, and her health remains stable. It's incredibly heartwarming to witness her thriving with all this social interaction. Studies consistently show that social engagement is one of the most powerful tools for improving cognitive decline, and we're seeing that firsthand. Beyond my immediate family, she's had visitors who have absolutely brightened her life, bringing even more happiness and connection to her days.
