The Silent Pain of the Sandwich Generation

Imagine you're a parent in your 40s or 50s.

You have kids to raise and ageing parents to care for.

You're also working and dealing with money worries.

This is called being in the 'sandwich generation.'

Many people in this group feel very stressed and tired, but they don't always talk about it.

They might feel sad or anxious, but they often don't get help because they think family problems should stay private.

Some people think therapy can help, but others find strength in their community or religion.

It's important for these people to ask for help and take time for themselves.
