Sustenance and Hope for Caregivers of Elderly Parents: The Bread of Angels (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780313360114)

This volume provides a practical exploration of one of today's most complex and challenging issues--the care of an elderly parent--with an innovative approach that emphasizes how rewarding the caregiver/care-receiver relationship can be.

For anyone facing this often overwhelming situation, Sustenance and Hope for Caregivers of Elderly Parents: Bread of Angels offers a wealth of insights from experienced caregivers, extraordinary personal stories, and most importantly, reassurance and support. It is a refreshing new vision of the positive potential for caregiving and the rewards that come with evolving relationships between adult children and their parents.

Gloria G. Barsamian's remarkably perceptive new volume dispels the myth that caretaking is a thankless burden. Like no other work, it captures the emotions of today's millions of caregivers, as well as care-receivers, spouses, and grandchildren. A longtime social worker, Barsamian shows how old ways of thinking about caregiving can be replaced with new, healthier possibilities that enrich the lives of caregivers and care-receivers.
