Transitions: Different Definitions of Home
Carol S. Goldbaum, PhD, LCSW
Most of us have been the captain of our own destiny for decades in one form or another. Yet
as we age we begin to wonder whether we still can do this or are we going to run the ship
aground at some point. Each of us has a vision of how we will manage the rest of our lives and
yet the scene keeps changing depending on how we feel today or the last conversation we had
with family or friends or the last visit to one of our many doctors. And most of all we fear the N
word ---- Nursing home. There is lots of space in between. Yes, there are many definitions of
HOME.
