Who’s behind When They Get Older?
Kathy Lawrence is a freelance copywriter, journalist and editor working under the name of Wrightwell. She has been the content director in When They Get Older since its creation in 2014 and an original founder.
In that time Kathy has supported her own parents through both joyful and difficult times in their later years. She’s experienced many of the challenges talked about in our stories. She’s had first-hand experience in getting the most from care, facing dementia and bringing the family together to work as a team. After losing her parents, Kathy took a break from When They Get Older. Now she is back as owner and editor and is excited to share valuable information with a growing audience.
Kathy also grumbles about marketing to a mature generation on her blog at primetimewords.
