Are you part of the ‘sandwich generation’?  No, it’s not about lunch, it’s about being sandwiched between the needs of your children, yourself, and your aging parents.  Or maybe you’ve become a caregiver for a disabled veteran of any generation?  It’s a big job that 66 million adults perform, for free.  You’ll find support at: http://www.caregiver.va.gov/index.asp including the Caregiver Toolkit, how to stay healthy while juggling multiple demands on your energy, and how to get connected with resources.  An informative article can be found at: https://www.myhealth.va.gov/caregiver
