117. Building A Legacy Of Love: Thriving In The Sandwich Generation With Christy Yates

This episode features a captivating interview with Christy Yates (https://www.christyyates.com/), the author of Building a Legacy of Love: Thriving in the Sandwich Generation.

 

We discuss the intricacies of the sandwich generation and the importance of building a legacy of love while navigating caregiving responsibilities for both children and aging parents.

 

Christy shared her personal experiences of juggling a full-time job, raising kids, and caring for her aging parents, emphasizing the significance of proactive planning in caregiving.

 

The conversation transitioned to early signs of becoming a caregiver, drawing parallels between parenting and caregiving roles in fostering independence and providing support.

 

Ultimately, your caregiving journey is about more than just managing a medical condition; it’s about honoring your loved one’s life and ensuring their dignity. 

 

By incorporating your faith and the values you cherish, you can provide care that respects their legacy while enriching your spiritual life.

 

Navigating the path of dementia caregiving is undoubtedly tough, but with faith, careful planning, and community support, it can also be a journey of love and spiritual growth.
