Author: Helping Children of Divorce (Schocken Books)
My unpublished manuscript, focusing on helping adult children facing their parents' aging challenges, was the beginning. It had just been accepted by a top literary agent in NY. Then came the 2008 economic collapse, hitting publishing companies hard. So she suggested I write a blog using my manuscript's ideas and insights + timely information. Help! Aging Parents was the result.
A decade later Inching Towards 80 is a natural continuation as I realize that my readers and I--every day--are inching towards 80. Actually we do this from the day we are born, don't we?
And I realize the Sr. Advisors to my Aging Parents blog contributed so much insight, expertise, and wisdom about aging smart that it make sense to apply it for our own benefit as we continue life's journey.
Inching Towards 80 honors them–and motivates me–to share their wisdom, combine it with reputable research, creative ideas, and my counseling background so we can all age smarter.

Susan,
Barb here–author of What to Do about Mama? (2nd edition just released). I see that you have not been blogging regularly and wonder if you will get this? Like you, I took a hiatus from blogging. And also, like you, I am experiencing a great deal of frustration with the changes in the WordPress technology. But, I am trying. You can check me out at bgmatthewsblog.WordPress.com. I enjoyed your blog a great deal, and hope that you are well.

Since I remarried a year and a week ago and am now 80, healthy thank goodness during this crazy time, it seems I’m less flexible when it comes to multi-tasking and figuring out WordPress. And am not reading blogs much. Hope to get back soon. I’m finding many things I learned from Sr.Advisor R and weaved into HPAW blog have served ME well during the last few years. That said, I look forward to reading your blog and appreciate your comment.
