Product Description
First published in 1976, You and Your Aging Parent is a classic--the first book to shed light on the challenging relationship between adult children and their aging parents, illuminating the emotional, health, and financial difficulties that elderly parents and their children face during the senior years. Marking the 30th anniversary of this highly popular book, the new and revised edition addresses the changes that have taken place in the last three decades, but it still embraces the authors' fundamental insight--that the difficulties and challenges of the aging process are as much a family affair as in any other phase of life. Both a sensitive exploration of the dynamics of the aging family relationship (between parent and child, and sibling and sibling) and an authoritative how-to guide for seniors and their families navigating the practical problems of growing old in America, You and Your Aging Parent has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest research findings and changes affecting older adults, including in health care and social services. The book also includes a running commentary by Bob Morris--playwright, author, and humorist--who provides insightful and entertaining observations about his trials and tribulations with his own parents as they aged, serving as a contemporary voice for the middle-aged caregiver of today. As the first of the baby boom generation turns 60 and their increasingly frail parents approach late retirement and final decline, this new and updated edition of You and Your Aging Parent will answer their need for authoritative, practical information about this major phase of life. |

God Bless My Grandmother by VALERIE R VALICENTO  5 Stars
June 03, 2009
Boy did I need this book. My Grandmother was getting older and I didn't know what to do and this book gave me a lot of advice on how to help her grow old her way, with a little help from me. It's not easy to admit that you need help, but it's nice to know that you get some of the answers from a book that someone took the time to write.

August 12, 2008
I bought the book as a reference text, but became engrossed in the book. It is much more substantive than anything else I have seen on the market. I can't recommend it enough to anyone who is an Adult Child with Aging parents.

March 23, 2008
This book is a first rate essential one to have if one has an aging parent or, indeed, is fast becoming one. I can't think of anything they missed or glossed over. And it is very well written to boot!
