When I was in my mid 30s, my grandmother was diagnosed with dementia. My family decided to move her back to the DC area so she could be close with us. We set her up in a retirement home. Nearly every Saturday for four years, I took her out for the day. I took her to restaurants (she loved a good glass of wine), shopping, out for a walk in the park. And I took her to what seemed like an endless amount of doctor's appointments. I valued the time I got to spend with her. It was also really hard. Some days she wouldn’t recognize me. Some days she’d barely even speak. She went to the hospital maybe a dozen times before she finally passed, two years ago today. I was also on call for those moments. They were the hardest. *** Being a caregiver for an aging grandparent, even for that one day a week, was hard. It left a big impression on me as a human and as a leader. I came away with tremendous respect for the millions out there who care for their aging loved ones day in and day out, year over year. It’s real work, work that is often unpaid thankless.   And I recognize that in many cultures taking care of older generations is very much the norm. This work never makes it onto a resume. But it has huge implications for how we are able to “show up” and perform in our professional lives. So today I hold space and honor the caregivers out there caring for an aging family member or friend. Those who’ve had to leave jobs, those who never took the job, those who are trying their hardest to balance the job with the caregiving.  And I urge other leaders and managers to find a bit more compassion for these caregivers in our ranks. Like, comment, reshare if you agree. TAG someone and show their appreciation for them as a caregiver. LinkedIn, let’s norm the realities of caregiving for aging parents and family members alongside support for new parents and DEIB initiatives. #nickatnoon #caregiving

Wonder what the backstory is with these two LinkedIn news headlines for the same story?? I read the first one yesterday “More Adults Mooching off of Parents” and was like .. Really, LinkedIn editors?!! Recording inflation, multiple once-in-a-generation recessions, student loan crisis, rising costs of childcare, global mental health crisis, climate change, wars, political strife, and we’re gonna go with this title? I have nothing but kindness and respect for those in my network who are living with and/or getting support from their parents. Times are hard. No shame whatsoever. I applaud anyone who gets creative. I also appreciate that even having parents who are in a position to help financially is an immense privilege and many many people are not so lucky. Respect to those Boomers who built their own financial success but I hope you all can appreciate that it wasn't all the result of hard work. It was also a consequence of great generational luck and timing. Thank you to those of you who are paying it forward, truly. Noticed the headline was changed today to “Parents Helping Adult Kids Prosper” Lol. More grace and less judgment. We go farther together. Like, comment, share if you agree. #nickatnoon

Share ONE thing that you're looking to do professionally: 👀 find a new job, 🧳 hire for open position, 🌱 grow your network, launch a 🎓 course or 📰 newsletter, etc. 3. INTERACT with other comments! The best way to build relationships is to engage with others. Check back often and reply as much as you can. The 🥅 GOAL is to make sure that EVERYONE who comments gets a reply.
