A very readable book on a very difficult subject that affects us all sooner or later. Good advice about keeping the communication channels open and looking at the positive side and even the amusing incidents and remarks not always easy to appreciate when one is dealing with a problem. I was partcularily moved by the chapter on "Mental Disorders" - great practical advice and useful addresses. Many thanks for this book, perhaps you have another one up your sleeve!

Read it before it is too late

This is a great practical guide to the issues that you are likely to face, with all the details as to what help and services are available, who qualifies and how to get them, conveniently listed at the end of each chapter.
But much more than that, the book gives the real life, human perspective on all these issues. It doesn't give irritatingly obvious advice or patronise the reader. It makes you think for ages after you read it.
Don't just read it when you are at crisis point with your parents, read it while they are still able to run faster than your children and make them and your siblings read it too. But keep it for the crisis too!
