Bittersweet Season: Caring for our aging parents and ourselves



I highly recommend Jane Gross' book Bittersweet Season: Caring for our aging parents and ourselves.  Gross tells her mother's story and all the mistakes Jane made because she and her brother Michael hadn't planned ahead.  The book is full of excellent advice and solid information interspersed with the poignant story of her mother's final years.  The book is a keeper as a reminder of questions to ask when moving a parent to live nearby, questions for doctors, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes.  Although most of us (young and old alike) don’t want to think about aging and end of life issues, your life and finances and that of your loved one will be so much better if you are prepared. Thanks to Donna for recommending this excellent resource!
