I think a lot about labels we slap on ourselves and each other. In a recent conversation between childless and childfree elders, we got right into the heart of the matter. Inspiration for my most recent @PsychToday contribution. psychologytoday.com/blog/una…

After a heartfelt conversation recently with 3 women, I was compelled to write about what parents could learn to become more inclusive of those of us who have no kids. I hope it's helpful. It's definitely from the heart, with love and care for all. bit.ly/3jSeQZa

For some reason, I'd been wringing my hands about who would hold them as I was getting ready to die. Maudlin, yes, but now I know I'm not the only one. I talk to many who bring up the subject of who will be at our side as we age and ultimately die. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…
