A Triple Decker Sandwich
There’s no doubt that Brenda Rice is part of the sandwich generation. Make that a triple-decker sandwich.
In addition to caring for her mother, who has severe dementia, Brenda baby-sits daily for her year-old grandson. On top of that, her 17-year-old son still lives at home.
I was going to say, “I don’t see how she does it”, but, I know when people have said that to me, it just seems so odd. Everyone has their own reality, and, sure, there are times when it’s really, really hard. But, you just do it.
What other choice is there, really?
We are often capable of more than we think we are. We can all do it…especially if it’s time limited. “I can do anything for 2 months”.
Keep in mind, Brenda can do it, because of people like you supporting her. I’m a fan of your blog!
Obviously, she draws strength from the fact that her family is together.
