Podcast 326 -- Sandwiched Between Commitments Exodus 20:12, 2 Corinthians 12:14

The Sandwich Generation describes adults from the ages of 40 to 59 who are caught between supporting minor children and aging parents. We focus on the aging parent caregiving part of this and the stress it can bring to Christian households. How do we honor the commandment to “Honor your father and your mother" (Exodus 20:12) while at the same recognizing that we have a responsibility to handle our own family obligations well (2 Corinthians 12:14). We examine three phases: 1) When it's time for parents to give up independence, 2) when it's time to move to assisted living, 3) when it's time to move to palliative care. Each phase is different and requires different thought processes and spiritual strength. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
