By Hugh Delehanty and Elinor Ginzler

Caring for our parents as they age is a job most of us shoulder willingly, yet with warring emotions. Despite our desire to repay the love they showed in raising us, the shifting dynamic of the parent-child relationship can spark feelings for which we are unprepared. For both generations, this is a complex passage—a time of burden and reward, of conflict and reconciliation, of frustration, fulfillment, and finality.

Fortunately, there's a practical road map through that complex emotional terrain. Drawing on AARP's wellspring of expertise, Caring for Your Parents lays out proven methods for helping your aging parents live their lives to the fullest.

Step by step, coauthors and AARP experts Hugh Delehanty and Elinor Ginzler guide readers along an innovative and resourceful path to caregiving—one that deepens the intergenerational bond, transforming an undeniable duty into a journey of spiritual growth and personal discovery. If you, too, are one of the 30 million Americans engaged in providing care to an older parent, relative, or friend, Caring for Your Parents is for you—and for your family.
