A "must have" if you are dealing with the issues of aging parents.
Review Date: May 23, 2008
Reviewer: Patricia L. Turley, Blount County, AL USA
When my mother first began having medical issues which I, my dad and siblings needed to deal with, I bought everyone copies of this book. It has been such a "Godsend"! Since then, I continue to buy copies to give to people in similar circumstances. I buy used or "like-new" copies to keep in my Sunday School class's library so that anyone may keep a copy if it is helpful to them. If you feel like you are alone and dealing with unique issues concerning your parents, please pick up a copy of this book. It will definitely help!

I wish I had found this book when the journey with my father had just started instead of towards the end.
Covers all concerns...freed me from much guilt...put things into perspective for me , which is hard to do when you feel like you are in the middle of a whirlwind!
READ THIS BOOK & give it to all of those you love.
It will make such a difference!

Reviewer: Yarn Girl, UP of MI
Excellent book! I wished I would have known about this book 5 years ago.
It does a great job of telling you what to expect in the future and how you can cope with today. I am sure I will return to this book time and time again.
Although written from the view of a Christian, its not "preachie". It gives very practical advice. It does give scripture references and the talks about the power of prayer, but I think even non-Christian would benefit from this book.
Practical, overflowing with emphathy & well written

Reviewer: C Deans, England
I am helping to care for my grandmother and I stumbled upon this book 'by chance'. I am a quarter way through and this looks like a gem of a book.
I found the insights and advice consistent with how my gran is responding in her present state of health, her day-to-day needs, and how the family is dealing with the situation (many a times dysfunctionally).
It is practical, overflowing with emphathy and speaks from a person who has gone through the process herself - a very accessible book which addresses the needs of both caregivers and aging parents. Despite the book being written some time ago, it challenged my own misguided notions about old people.
Certainly very highly recommended for anyone who is going into or are in a situation where they are caring for an aging person. Often, one may reach a place where one is not sure "what to do next". This book will definitely help.
