The blessing of longevity

brings with it challenges to all involved.

Members of the sandwich generation

find themselves in the middle.

Caught between the needs

of children and grandchildren on the one hand,

and the needs of their seniors on the other.

Not to mention their commitments

to their spouse, home, work and community.

Even when all three generations act

with understanding, concern and cooperation,

a gap can widen

between the will and ability to give,

between needs and others’ response,

between a long life and a satisfying life -

emotionally, culturally and intellectually -

of an older parent.
