Caring for Your Aging Parents provides crucial insights into aging and the attending problems that affect relationships between the elderly and  the middle-aged “kids” who love them, and are responsible for their care. Readers will find answers to questions most asked by caregivers: 

· How can I overcome the guilt and anxiety I feel toward my parents?

· Why don’t my parents appreciate all that I do for them?

· How can I get other family members to share the burdens of caregiving?

This comforting anecdotal book addresses issues of health, finances, living arrangements, communication, and emotional struggles. This compassionate and poignant guide includes chapters on how to break out of old and destructive patterns, how to care for one’s self while caring for a parent, finding good living arrangements for your parents, dealing with confusion and memory loss, and a reflection on what the future holds for America’s seniors.
