The gentle art of caregiving
Article Abstract:
Statistics show that the number of US citizens over 65 years of age will increase to 70 million in the next 40 years while those 85 years old and older will grow to 11 million. The figures will create a situation wherein people will have to give care to senior family members while contending with their own aging. Experts, such as author Richard Johnson, caution caregivers on the frustration and misery they will have to bear while attending to their parents. However, he asserts that with the frustration of giving care comes a deep satisfaction in repaying a debt to a loved one.
