If not because he or she is caring for a parent, like author Lori Burdoo did, then caring for another elderly loved one &#8212; or even just empathizing with a dear friend&#8217;s challenges as they become a caregiver. <\/p>\n<p>I would highly recommend this very readable book. I wish I had had a copy of this book 12 years ago when I was enduring the end of my parents&#8217; lives. Perhaps I&#8217;d have been able to approach it with the grace, compassion, and humor that Lori so clearly demonstrates in generously sharing her experiences of Gertie&#8217;s last years.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"buybox\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/aws\/cart\/add.html?AssociateTag=mzyne-20&#038;ASIN.1=B00BGPMTW0&#038;Quantity.1=1&#038;SubscriptionId=\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nichedemosites.com\/Elderly_Care_Tips\/img\/buyna.png\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Customer Feedback<\/h3>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%\" class=\"wp_automatic_amazon_review\" src=\"\/\/www.amazon.com\/reviews\/iframe?akid=[amazonpin]&#038;alinkCode=xm2&#038;asin=B00BGPMTW0&#038;atag=[amazonid]&#038;exp=2030-09-01T06%3A11%3A54Z&#038;v=2&#038;sig=v%2FqbYfOwXL0ZnQXg6RrR5C1eXt9Dbf5XKjXBKe7yIz8%3D\" ><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was my 95 year old Mom&#8217;s caregiver for the last 5 years of her life.
