They call it the Sandwich Generation. Adult children juggling children of their own, work and ageing parents. In her latest book, journalist Amal Awad reveals society’s discomfort with the stark realities of ageing, disease and death in a culture that celebrates eternal youth. As a GP, Joanna Nell knows only too well what ageing looks like. Drawing on personal experience, these two writers share insights into what we are facing as our parents age, as we age, and how to navigate that path with compassion and humour. Hosted by Pamela Cook.
