Book Review: Taking Care of Parents
Summary: 5 Stars
Many of us are faced with the aging of parents and often the onset of dementia. Eleanor Cade's book gives us examples of that common stuggle and what other people have done to cope with this difficult transition in our parent's life. After I'd read this book, I gave copies to my sister who is a primary caregiver of our mother, my cousin and another friend. All of these women found hope and encouragement in the stories of others. I recommend it.
