Author Howard Fineman, released an article a couple of weeks ago reminiscing about Tim Russert.
Turns out, as Tim explained to me a few minutes later when he sat down again, that he had essentially rigged, from long distance, a system for taking care of his father that allowed his dad to stay in the home he had lived in for decades, and in which Tim had been reared. “Big Russ” had lost a wife and was lonely and in failing health, but the last thing he wanted to do was leave his family surroundings in South Buffalo.
In addition to being an amazing story about an television journalistic icon, the article highlights the importance of long distance caregiving.
The NIH as well as Metlife have released great articles about long distance caregiving.
