What happens when the parents become the children? Nothing can prepare you for it.
Suddenly you turn around and the people who cared and nurtured you through your childhood into adulthood have almost become childlike.
What happened? Where did the time go? Isn't it just too doggone bad that youth is wasted on the young? This is a dance that has gone on forever.
It's just the natural order of things.
The main difference is that in our modern world we are all living longer, healthier and more productive lives.
Sooner or later, however, the time comes when the parents who directed you for so many years, are asking YOU for direction.
The request may be subtle but it is inevitable.
The only difference is the dance begins a bit later in life than it used to.
You may find yourself riding in the car with your Mom or Dad and find you are clutching the arm supports with white knuckles.
What are you going to do? That man with the staid, firm spine that took you through your paces when you were learning to drive now resembles a rampaging bull bent over the steering wheel and cutting in and out of traffic and cursing every other driver on the road It's a very shocking and rude awakening when you first realize that your parents are vulnerable.
Sometimes that realization doesn't arrive until one of your parents is gone and you are left to deal with the remaining parent.
This is sometimes boldly underlined when your parent becomes ill.
What happens is that he/she does not want to become a burden and just lets the illness take its course.
Sometimes this occurs with tragic consequences.
It is very easy to miss some of the signs.
We are all busy and stressed beyond imagination.
It often takes a severe wake up call to bring the problem to light.
Missed appointments, lack of enthusiasm, lost weight and more are some of the warning signs that you have a parent in shutdown mode and you need to take action.
Knowing what to do and when to do it is something that differs for all families.
Platforma de publicare independentă CreateSpace a fost un serviciu de autopublicare pentru autori independenți, cunoscut în primul rând pentru că îi ajută pe autori să publice și să distribuie cărți tipărite la cerere.
CreateSpace și-a schimbat serviciile la Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).
CreateSpace și KDP fac ambele parte din platformele de autopublicare ale Amazon, iar autorii pot folosi KDP pentru a publica și distribui atât cărți electronice, cât și cărți tipărite.
Prin KDP, autorii își pot crea, publica și distribui cărțile la nivel global, ajungând la cititori prin rețeaua vastă a Amazon.
Dacă sunteți autor sau aspiră să publice o carte, poate doriți să explorați Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) pentru nevoile dvs.
de autopublicare.
