About this title

Synopsis

Taking care of an aging parent can be a bewildering and frustrating process, especially as health problems progress. This is the story of two adult daughters managing the challenging reversal of roles as they nurse their elderly father through a terminal illness. The frustrations of handling both a stubborn and temperamental parent and an often-baffling medical system will ring true with anyone caring for elderly loved ones. From the daily routines of cleaning, feeding, and medicating to the somber realities of dealing with funeral arrangements and estate settlement, the difficult challenges that face family members in this situation are discussed.

About the Author

Lynnita Mattock worked in the fields of teaching and occupational therapy for 21 years before caring for her own terminally ill father. She lives in Boulder, Colorado.
