For those of you who have not yet explored the American Public Media program, On Being, (formerly, Speaking of Faith) with Krista Tippett, I highly recommend this series of programs. I recently checked in and found a presentation. The Far Shore of Aging by Jane Gross, author of The New Old Age blog at the New York Times.
Gross addresses issues of aging and care-giving. Currently, a large portion of the population is involved in the care-giver roll as seniors live longer, but not always healthier, lives. She calls this the in-between time when people are caring for their parents but also caring for themselves. The other in-between happens as caregivers are caught between guilt and exhaustion. As care-giving professionals it's nice to have resources that address all the issues that are faced day to day.
To listen to the entire podcast, which aired on July 21, Google "On Being". There you'll find a wealth of food for the spirit with a new program posted every week.
