Well laid out plan for caring for aging parents.

This book was well thought out and laid out in easy to listen to chapters.

Wonderful guide

This opening statement ‘Caring for those who cared for us is an honor’ says it all. Although challenging, it can be our greatest gift if we handle it properly. This audible shows you how to do just that. This resource is so beneficial, I wish I had found it sooner.

Not just checklists, but real talk

So much of caregiving advice skips the emotional part. This didn’t. It’s clear about what might come up; guilt, resentment, exhaustion, and gives you ways to manage it. It’s about care, yes, but also survival. Worth listening to before things get too hard
