Sense of humor and breaks help. A kind friend took in my puppy for weeks without my having to ask.

Like you, I wish I'd had a book like this ten years ago. My partner and I were both only children of older parents a couple of whom had health issues. And I, too, wish I'd reached out more. This book sounds like a godsend--I hope it finds its way tot those who need it.

I wish I'd had this book back when my mother was diagnosed with cancer 20 years ago.<br /><br />Thanks for the review.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820350511791595345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-84688090774685723942013-12-04T18:47:20.385-05:002013-12-04T18:47:20.385-05:00The complete care system is complicated.
