Aging Together

A grandchild sits with rapt attention listening to his grandfather describe the feeling of World War II anti-aircraft fire hitting the grandfather's plane. A grandmother describes what living during Prohibition was like. Family traditions, where a person lives, and talents the person has make much more sense as the person learns from older family members about the people who came before and what they did with their lives.

Meanwhile, the grandchild adds to the safety, functional abilities, and general wellbeing of the grandparent. We are all interdependent. This often takes the form of multigenerational households or family caregiving.

This episode examines the factors that will make that interdependence go well and what might derail peaceful coexistence under the same roof.
