| About the Book | |
|
Ms. Tarnow's aging parents struggled with heart disease, leukemia, arthritis, diabetes, prostate cancer, deafness, blindness, severe high blood pressure, and senile dementia. She chose to write the story of their experiences -- and hers -- in an effort to help others with their caregiving. The result is a book that serves as both a how-to and a cautionary tale. With its rare glimpse into the frustrations and triumphs of long-term caregiving, this book is a must-read for anyone who is caring for an elderly loved one. When Your Parent Becomes Your Child will help you become a confident caregiver -- even if you're not a healthcare professional.
