We are both such different people since my dad passed and our normal best-friend status is being tried! I looked all over AARP and couldn't find a resource for a group that meets - either in person or online. To be honest, I feel a bit desperate.</P> Wed, 05 Feb 2025 21:41:49 GMT SusanneG121346 2025-02-05T21:41:49Z https://community.aarp.org/t5/Caregiving/Meeting-with-others-who-are-taking-care-of-an-aging-parent/m-p/2590584#M8272 <P>I am living with my mom, she is 81, and at times I want to run screaming into the night.

Losing a parent changes everything, and it’s tough adjusting to a new routine and role. We’re building a community for caregivers so folks like you can connect, swap stories, and support each other through virtual (and soon in-person) meetups. You’re not alone in this. Feel free to join us here:&nbsp;<A href="https://elderhoodproject.substack.com/p/welcome-to-the-elderhood-project" target="_blank">https://elderhoodproject.substack.com/p/welcome-to-the-elderhood-project</A><BR />hope to see you soon!</P> Sat, 08 Feb 2025 20:43:11 GMT https://community.aarp.org/t5/Caregiving/Meeting-with-others-who-are-taking-care-of-an-aging-parent/m-p/2591185#M8287 MaxM43489 2025-02-08T20:43:11Z
