How nice for people caring for a spouse or partner. However, I suspect the opposite may hold true for those of us in the Sandwich Generation caring for parents. Any studies on that?
Excellent article thanks for sharing... <a href="http://www.findoptimalhealth.com/hawaiian-noni-juice.php">noni benefits</a>
I like Paul Spencer's upbeat story on how caregiving can help you live longer. As a former caregiver (who now writes about AD and aging problems in my weekly SENIOR SUBJECTS column in the Lincoln(MA)Journal, I feel that my long stint of caregiving for my late wife "made a man of me." We were told in our support group meetings that 60% of caregivers die before the care recipient. Glad to hear things are better now.Keep writing, Paula!
