    Imagine this: you get an emergency telephone call at work that your parent needs help. What do you do? It can happen to anyone. You're busy at work, preparing for an afternoon presentation, when the telephone rings; it's the doctor's office telling you to come to the hospital, your mom fell and broke her hip. And life as you knew it changed in an instant.

    If you are not currently caring for an elderly family member, you soon will be. With an aging population upon us, not only can we expect to take on the role of our parents' caregiver, there are grandparents, aunts and uncles, spouses and siblings who also will require our attention.
