I am a 67 year old retiree and I live in Northwest Lower Michigan with my husband of 43 years. We have both experienced caring for and assisting our aging parents through a variety of health issues including recovery from a stroke to the effects of Parkinson’s Disease and dementia. It has been a trying experience and at various times we needed to seek out the advice of people both professional medical personnel as well as lay-people who had had similar experiences that were willing to “talk through” our situations and found it really helpful. My mother-in-law passed in 2020, my father in 2024 and my mother in 2025. I now have time available to listen to and walk along side someone who may be experiencing something similar. I started attending our local Parkinson’s Support group when we were caring for my mother and I realized there are so many care-givers who are looking for someone to talk to because “care-giving” can be quite isolating. So I wanted to make myself available as needed.
