The Sandwich Years

Helping a parent while raising a family and holding down a job is hard. You are in the “sandwich years,” and no one handed you a manual.

The Sandwich Years is a short, plain-language guide for adults in their 40s and 50s who are supporting an aging parent. It covers health, safety, paperwork and technology, and it skips the jargon and the overwhelm.
