Dear Adult Child:

Are you struggling to care for your elderly parent or family member who is ill?

Are you angry and frustrated with your siblings because they don't help you care for your elderly parent?

Do you feel helpless and guilty because you are a long distance caregiver, living thousands of miles from your elderly mother or father who is ill and needs assistance?

Are you overwhelmed with juggling the multiple responsibilities of your career,family and personal life while caring for a sick mother, father or chronically ill adult?

Are you sleepless because you don’t know where to turn for help for any of these problems?

If so, then this special Caregiving Advice Discussion Forum, courtesy of Pittsburgh-based Allegheny Geriatric Consultants,(www.caregivingadvice.com) may provide support and some of the answers you've been seeking.

Here you can share your feelings, frustrations and ideas... and...vent with adult children from around the world who are in the same situation as you are...and... receive the positive reinforcement that comes with knowing you are not alone and doing your best.

And don’t be surprised if I step in to offer some advice of my own from time to time!

Sincerely,

Paula Tchirkow, MSW, LSW, ACSW
