Timely gift of knoledge

In recent years, my sister and I have discussed the best way to care for our parents as they age. Luckily, they are in good health, but we realize we will have to take on caregiver roles soon. This book has been an enormous help, as it guides us through the many practical and emotional aspects of caring for an elderly parent. It emphasizes maintaining a positive relationship between caregivers and the elderly, which is essential in this work. Reading through the chapters has given me much faith that my sister and I can provide our parents with love, support and understanding during this particular time in their life. I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Very Informative Book!

I know how to handle aging parents well because I was a caretaker for my mom who passed away from dementia recently. It takes a lot from the caretaker’s patience and dedication. I connect with the author and feel her pain. I think everyone who has aging parents should read this book. This a great resource book! I highly recommend it.

Perfect

Just what a person needs before they they start their journey of caregiving. It talks about options for hiring help, different struggles with aging, and working with family. Great book!

give compassionate care!

I feel like this is a much needed book for all the children out there struggling to balance their life along caregiving duties. I'm in awe that author has summarized such pleasant and caring ideas, financial guide and much more in the audio book that anyone can go from overwhelmed to an organized person in no time. We all know what likely is it to look after your aging parents and their needs increase as their age increases so it's very important to manage our life accordingly and follow the appropriate resources and tool kit author has shared with us. The book is such a lovely read!

Wish I had found this years ago

I really wish I had found this years ago when my son was caring for his grandfather on his father’s side. He got no support from his father aunt or uncle and really beat himself up because he felt like he could never do enough. He put his life on hold for nearly 7 years and now feels like he’s accomplished nothing with his life. Cynthia’s book would have been a godsend to him during a very rough time. She provides a ton of resources and guidance on how to achieve some balance while caring for an aging loved one. She also gives you permission to have a bad day and helps you find ways to find some enjoyment and fulfillment while caring for your loved one. I highly recommend!

Great book

My dad is 80 now and needs our help.
I could totally relate to the feelings of guilt you feel when you leave an ageing person by themselves or don’t always give them the attention they need.
His book has made me realise I’m not alone and has given me some great strategies for coping with these feelings. I particularly liked the way it also focuses on how to manage the more difficult situations
Great resource

What a help this book is!

This a wonderful book with great help for the millions of us in this position. I learned that this can be a happy compassionate time for both of us and I never thought of it that way. Thanks for a great book to help me with my aging mother. Thank you!

Very Helpful!
