One thing we all know for sure, especially in today’s world, is life can change when we least expect it. Seniors who thought they had long term plans in place can have a life-changing event that turns their world upside down.
One of the most common life changes facing seniors is the medical decline or death of a spouse. When one of the spouses requires long term care or passes away, the other spouse may find themselves in a financial crunch they were not prepared for.
This is where senior home-sharing comes in. Home-sharing for seniors is becoming a popular way to not only ease financial stress but also to combat the feeling of loneliness and isolatio…

Researchers here report on their investigations of human astrocytes, a class of supporting cells in the brain that are responsible for maintaining the correct function of neurons. Age-related neurodegenerative conditions have a strong inflammatory component to their progression. The chronic inflammation of aging is thought to drive supporting cells such as astrocytes and glia into harmful behaviors that damage and destroy neurons. This is coming to be seen as an important component of age-related neurodegeneration, and researchers have produced benefits in animal models of neurodegenerative condit…

My heart was empty. It had never felt that empty before. Sometimes I felt a gap gnawing at my chest making everything around me feel like half of a whole. I felt like a piece of me had died.
I painted my childhood bedroom grey that summer, picking out the color carefully after taping paint samples on the wall and pondering them for hours.
The old color gave me a headache; it glowed neon green and looked dirty now from years of feet on the walls. Hidden above the moldings, I found pencil drawings from when I was younger. Quotes and such that had meaning to me at one time, but now the point was lost.
These distractions were welcomed. They shifted my eyes from all the stuff I’d crammed in my parents’ dining roo…
