    Mental Health, Aging, and the Family

    Part 3: Finding Support for Caregivers and Families of People with Dementia **This is part 3 in a three part blog on mental health and aging. Click here for parts one and two.** Many of the topics that the person with dementia needs to process are also topics that their family needs to contemplate, too.

    What Happens to Our Identities When We Are Expecting A Baby? When do we “feel” like adults? This question seems to hang over the heads of most individuals. Passing legally defined age markers, gaining the right to vote, or turning twenty-one seems to do little to solidify one’s feeling on fully embodying what it is to be a grown up. According to researchers studying human development, the path to adulthood is bound to five central markers: Finishing school, leaving home, acqu

    Create an Attitude of Gratitude

    "Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings." -William Arthur Ward Sometimes in a long-term relationship, we fall into a routine of “normal”. She makes the coffee in the morning, he makes the bed, She makes the kids’ lunches, he picks them up from school, she cooks the dinner, he helps with homework, she pays the bills, he does the dishes and round and round we go.

    Independence in a Relationship

    Does the beginning of a relationship mean the death of your independence? For some people, the answer may not be as clear cut as you may think. A reason for this may be found in part by the examples of “commitment” as portrayed on TV, social media, or popular culture.
