Still Their Child

Weekly support for adult children of aging parents — emotional, practical, and honest.

This part of life is hard.

Not in the “mildly inconvenient” way.
In the real way — the exhausting, disorienting, “I didn’t know it would feel like this” kind of way.

You’re helping a parent through one of life’s hardest chapters.
Often while juggling your own career, family, health, and identity.

The roles have reversed.
The rules have changed.
And no one handed you a playbook.

That’s where Still Their Child comes in.

What to Expect

Every week, you’ll get a short, thoughtful note in your inbox.
Not more noise. Not generic advice.
Just clarity, support, and a moment to breathe.

We talk about:

  • The emotional weight of caregiving

  • Guilt, grief, and shifting family dynamics

  • Letting go of the parent you once knew

  • Finding peace (sometimes for only a minute at a time)

  • Practical tips without the overwhelm

You’re not alone.
Even if it feels like it.

This newsletter is here to remind you:
You’re still their child.
And that still matters.

Why This Exists

Still Their Child was created after walking this road myself — helping my mom through cancer, and watching my dad age in ways that quietly changed both of us.

It left me feeling unprepared, unqualified, and emotionally stretched thin.

This newsletter isn’t a guide from above. It’s support from someone who’s in the thick of it too — trying to make sense of caregiving, role shifts, and what it means to love a parent well, even as they change.

If you’ve ever felt alone in this, I hope this space reminds you:
You’re not doing it wrong.
It’s just really hard.
And you don’t have to carry it alone.

Who It’s For

  • Adult children in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond

  • Caregivers navigating daily responsibilities or long-distance support

  • People already walking this road — or seeing it coming

  • Anyone trying to love a parent well, even when it’s complicated

“This newsletter doesn’t give me more to do — it helps me breathe.”
