CCC Aug 7, Stephen Goldstein "When My Mother No Longer Knew My Name"

Stephen L. Goldstein
"When My Mother No Longer Knew My Name: A Son's 'Course' in 'Rational' Caregiving"
Grid Press, 2012, 978-1-55571-701-8, $21.99
This should be the first book families read to prepare themselves for caring for aging relatives. It's a one-man support group, written like a friend who's "been-there-done-that," talking anecdotally, but authoritatively, to a friend who needs help. Each brief chapter tells how a son learned "on-the-job" to deal with different situations all caregivers face as his caregiving role evolved from nominal to 24/7. The book is packed with down-to-earth practical advice and tips to make caregiving manageable-even joyful.
