Hospice Chaplain Writes About Importance of Family Care Giving

The Rev. Amy Ziettlow wrote an interesting commentary today at the Huffington Post on the importance and shifting role of the family caregiver. Rev. Ziettlow explains how caring for the elderly has and will continue to become a most significant issue to countless Americans as members of the baby boomer generation age into their twilight years.

She ends her thoughtful reflection with a series of questions that everyone must consider:

The next 30 years will be defined by the quality of care we provide for our elders. How will the baby boomers age and die? How are we as their kids going to care for them well and honor their memory and legacy? What kind of lives will we review?

Blue Skies Hospice can help families in Northwest Indiana answer these questions. The dedicated staff of nurses, social workers, clergy, and volunteers understands, appreciates, and respects the sanctity of the situation from which these questions arise, and will assist families in determining what is best for them, and how they can achieve peace in moments of pain.
