When Aging Gets Hard: A Physician’s Guide to Navigating the Journey with Dr. Surah Grumet, MD, MPH

from Harvesting Happiness · host Lisa Cypers Kamen

Navigating the changing needs of an aging parent can feel like a sobering wake-up call, especially as you balance respecting their role in their own care decisions with the growing weight of caregiving responsibilities. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but you don't have to carry the load alone. Palliative care, including hospice, offers essential support to guide families through this journey. For sound advice on mindful aging-parent care, Harvesting Happiness Podcast host Lisa Cypers Kamen welcomes Dr. Suragh Grumet, MD, MPH, the Chief Medical Officer for North Carolina at Eventus WholeHealth, and the founder of Mindful Aging LLC. In this caregiver support podcast, Dr. Grumet blends compassionate suggestions on relationships and spiritual connections with aging-parent care for the sandwich generation and beyond. She gently touches on end-of-life planning guidance and other caregiver tips taken from her book, Mindful Aging: A Compassionate Guide for Navigating the Journey. Like what you're hearing?
