Hi, I'm Susan~

Professionally: High School Counselor (retired)

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My unpublished manuscript, focusing on helping adult children facing their parents' aging challenges, was the beginning.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.

Why This Blog

As a counselor I realized so many aspects of helping parents age well were similar to helping my high school counselees mature well. Regardless of age
EMPOWERING,
AFFIRMING SELF-ESTEEM,
SHOWING RESPECT,
ADDING SOME FUN
helped both generations feel better about themselves, make the effort, and move forward.

Each post is written with the above in mind, hoping your parents can age well until the end.

Help! Aging Parents, published weekly (Saturday night), is committed to sharing the best information, professional advice, and creative ideas to help elders age well.
