Helpful Book for Family Caregivers

Jane Gross, a veteran reporter for The New York Times, started a blog for the Times called The New Old Age in 2008.

Her book “A Bittersweet Season: Caring for Our Aging Parents – and Ourselves” was published in 2011.

The jacket describes the book this way:

“Wise, unflinching, and ever helpful, A Bittersweet Season is an essential guide for anyone navigating this unfamiliar, psychologically demanding, powerfully emotional, and often redemptive territory.”

This comprehensive work is a valuable resource for family caregivers dealing with health issues, complex and often difficult sibling relationships, financial concerns, and many other challenges as they care for their parents. It’s currently available from booksellers.
