Living Life with The End in Mind: Legacy ...

With the ever present reality of dying from Covid, I decided to write letters to my adult children and grandchildren. I like this idea whether Covid is part of our every day life or not. Take the time to write letters to those you love. Especially to children so young your letter may be all they have to remember you.

Are You an Elder Orphan?

Are You an Elder Orphan?

I first heard this term a few years ago and typically, it refers to seniors who are aging alone. They have no spouse or partner, and no children to step into the role of care-giver. In fact, AARP recently estimated that 20% of the aging population or 8.6 million people older than 65 are now “orphans” or at risk of becoming an elder orphan. By the year 2050, this number will mushroom to 16 million or higher.  That is a lot of baby boomers coping with aging alone with little to no family support.  This number does not even count those adult children who are unwilling or incapable of providing care to their aging parents.
