Why The Aging Society Was Created

My name is Susan Myers. For more than twenty years I have been the person families called when they did not know what to say next. As a Senior Living Expert, a certified End-of-Life Doula and founder of The Aging Society, I have sat across from caregivers at every one of these pressure points, guilt, burnout, sibling tension, and  senior living conversation nobody wants to have.

I also know this from the inside. When my late husband became seriously ill, and I was caring for my own aging parents, as well as, my 10 year old son, I was simultaneously the professional who understood the system and the caregiver who could not find the words for the conversation that most needed to happen. I sat with that silence longer than I should have.

Everything I create exist because of what that cost me, and because I have watched it cost other people the same thing, over and over, for twenty years.
