The author's parents have taken helpful steps to prepare for their future. On a recent Tuesday, I received three text messages in a row: two from my daughter and one from my dad. For many of us, this is our everyday — sandwiched between our parents and our kids, and suddenly balancing both. Our parents are navigating big life transitions. So are our kids. In this sandwich generation, with little time and a lot on our plates, here are a few things our parents have done that have really helped our family navigate this tricky time of life. We're clear on our parents' wishesIt goes without saying: this is new territory for everyone. Safety, stability, and continuous modifications have been themes my husband and I have prioritized as our parents enter this next chapter. Both sets of our parents have set up and periodically update wills and trusts; they have their important documents in order. Having lawyer contacts and power of attorney has helped my husband and me, and our siblings know whom to contact in an emergency and which specific procedures to follow.

Brigitte Weil is a matchmaker who works with older clients. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Brigitte Weil. It has been edited for length and clarity. My parents have been married for 62 years, and my grandparents were married for 76. I've always been surrounded by longevity in relationships, and it's something that captivates me. Becoming a matchmaker who works with older adults was a natural fit. Dating in your 70s or older is radically different from dating in your 30s or even 50s. Younger people are looking for someone to build a life with, but older people are seeking someone who can share a life that's already been created. Lifestyle compatibility becomes critical with ageWhen I match older clients, I need to know that their lifestyles will mesh well. We're talking less about chemistry, or someone who checks all the boxes, and more about how their lifestyles can be shared. Older clients care less about a man's height or a woman's appearance in a bikini. Even finances play a smaller role. Instead, geography becomes a big issue: many people don't want to move and give up their community and family connections.
