This easy-to-read, very personal book will help and encourage
you whether you are: An adult caring for aging parents The parent of small
children A professional caregiver An individual wanting to help others. Read
how the author finds joy in the complex, daily demands of a caregiver. Realize
you are not in this alone as you learn where and how to find help. The
thought-provoking questions and insights at the end of each chapter are
suitable for individual or group study. No two situations are the same,
however, the basic responsibilities and standard of care will not change. Every
person is entitled to adequate care and respect regardless of age or circumstance.
My thoughts…
Caring for an elderly parent is a difficult situation, but when
old age combines with dementia, it’s even harder. In this honestly written,
poignant, Christian book, author Susie Kinslow Adams shares her ups and downs as she cared for her ageing
mother, the sacrifices she had to make, as well as the rewards she was able to
gain. The tone is uplifting, with the author offering encouragement and advice
throughout. What I especially liked about this book are the study-group
questions at the end of each chapter, providing the reader with opportunity for education and self-reflection. My Mother My Child
is a book I recommend for people who are going through the same experience. As
Adams reminds us, you’re not alone.
