Helping our parents' transition through aging, decline and death changes many adult children's lives forever. It shakes our very foundation. We often feel alone and don't know where to turn for support in a culture where sharing feelings about the decline of a loved one, emotional pain and loss may not be well-received. Many of you may feel lost as you make difficult choices and cry many tears. I did.
In this book ten people share their stories of tough roads of decision-making, difficult family dynamics, grief, and moving on, and I weave my own account through each of their chapters. As you read these stories in the caregivers' voice, you will know you are not alone but part of a "hidden tribe" who share a common bond. You will find guidance for navigating your way through your parents' final years as you find yourself in the stories of others in this book.
This book is for anyone caring for aging parents, for anyone grappling with sibling conflict during this difficult time, for anyone who has lost a parent, and for those with unresolved guilt or regret around their parent's decline and death. It is also for parent elders who wish to look through the eyes of children as the adult caregivers.
