Caring for My Terminally Ill Parents

Welcome to Caring For Your Aging Parents, where I assist the elderly and their caretakers by providing education on how to take care of your aging parents. There will be new episodes every week where you’ll receive valuable information on how to make confident, informed decisions on elderly care.

How I Cared for My Terminally Ill Parents

Both my parents had cancer in the same timespan - and they both passed away within a year of each other. I understand how hard it is to take care of your parents, especially when you’re managing doctors, their place of residence, medical bills, and finding the right type of care when they have to leave the hospital. It’s hard to juggle family life when you have your parents to take care of, and this episode will give you a bit of an insight into the challenges I faced taking care of my terminally ill parents over a decade ago.

How you provide care for your parents depends on many things, such as their own preferences, disabilities, and of course affordability and access. The best choice for your parents may not be the same choice your neighbor or cousin makes, but by preparing well and educating yourself, you can provide care with confidence. 

Learning to Be a Caregiver

Transitioning into a caregiving role can be confusing and scary no matter what your situation is. I understand the journey personally, and next week I’ll be sharing my story of how I took care of my parents while also balancing my family and education. I hope to give you the strength, ability, and information necessary so that you can make the best choice for your own situation.
