The TRUTH is, that all of the “STUFF” here on earth we work SO hard to buy and accumulate..does NOT mean a thing. At the end of the day...people will be cleaning out our "STUFF", going thru our "STUFF", figuring out what to do with all of our "STUFF"....this "STUFF" we've accumulated in our life. The only thing of VALUE that remains are the MEMORIES and what we deposit into others. May we all learn to spend less time accumulating "STUFF" and spend way more time making MEMORIES.

If you or someone you know has a story about caring for your aging parents, I'd love to talk to you! Your story matters. It can comfort, and it can empower others.

Episode 1: My Grandma and My Mom In the premiere episode, host Erin Gibson interviews her mom about her experiences living with her 94-year-old mother and the agonizing decision to move her to a nursing home.

What a happy reunion for this couple.

Couple married for 70 years reunited after months apart due to coronavirus restrictions Walter asked his wife if she was OK. "No, I missed you," she said as she held his hands for the first time in months.

“This is Getting Old” is a podcast for anyone caring for aging parents.

You've watched them lose their independence. You've navigated their health issues and waded through financial decisions and bureaucratic programs.

And you've concluded: "This is getting old."

In the first episode, I interview my mother about caring for and moving in with my 94-year-old grandmother.
