 When My Mother Know Longer Knew My Name
A Son's "Course" in "Rational" Caregiving
By Stephen L. Goldstein
This should be the first book
families read to prepare themselves
for caring for aging relatives. It's
a one-man support group, written
like a friend who's
"been-there-done-that," talking
anecdotally, but authoritatively, to
a friend who needs help. It is raw
and gritty, as well as funny and
inspiring--offering hope that one
can overcome a mountain of seemingly
insurmountable challenges, for which
they likely feel devastatingly
unprepared.Each brief, compelling,
highly readable chapter tells how a
son learned "on-the-job" to deal
with different situations all
caregivers face as his caregiving
role evolved from nominal to 24/7.
The book is packed with
down-to-earth practical advice and
tips to make caregiving
manageable-even joyful. There's even
a unique self-assessment guide so
caregivers and potential caregivers
can benchmark and enhance their
ability to manage the often lonely,
challenging, unpredictable, and
overwhelming roles they may assume.

Possible:
A
Physician’s
Quest to
Transform
Care
Through
The End
Of Life
By Ira
Byoch,
MD
This book puts a human
face on a national crisis: the way in

shaping how families experience loss,
The Best Care Possible puts a human face

States. The message is at once sobering
as well as hopeful and consistently
life-affirming.
