A timely reminder for everyone
|
|
I must admit that when I first saw this book I thought it wouldn't be relevant to me for a few years, my parents are only in their 60s and decisions about their care seem a long way off. But the more I read, the more I realised that it's vital to consider the issues raised in this book before any problems arise and emotions take over. What makes this book essential reading is the relaxed, funny and incredibly clear way in which it deals with complex emotional and practical issues. It's like having a crystal clear explanation of your options from a good friend who's been there and done it. Highly recommended.

What shall we do with mother
|

When I read this book I laughted and cried in equal measure. A wonderful book, which I wish Rosie Staal had written a few years ago when my mother first showed signs of being dependent on me. It make me see that I am far from alone, and there are many out there whose situation is far worse. The book also made me face up to my hidden fears about my mother's health. It gave lots of useful advice, even for someone like me with a stubborn parent. I am now passing the book to my daughters for them to read - to give them ideas on how to cope if I become dependent on them when I'm elderly!
