Description
When the End Is Near
Are you worried about what will
happen when Mom and Dad can no longer care for themselves? If the whole
job of caregiving falls to you, this will be your essential playbook for
managing their end-of-life period.
9 Realities of Caring
for an Elderly Parent covers topics from keeping your parent safe in
their own home, organizing their financial records, and de-cluttering
while preserving memories to the aftermath including pre-designed
funerals, acting as the executor trustee of the estate, and effectively
communicating with siblings and attorneys. Grief counseling for the
adult orphan is the final chapter.
Funny and compassionate,
this is the insider’s view of what to expect from your daunting role if
you are the adult child coming home to care for your elderly parent
until the very end.
