    Memory Lessons: a Fascinating Book Combining Personal Stories with Professional Advice

    Dr. Jerald Winakur is the doctor we all wish we had, if not for ourselves, for our elders. His book, Memory Lessons: A Doctor's Story, suffers from a bland cover and a deceivingly simplified subtitle, but don't let that fool you. This doctor is a writer. He is a story teller. He is a gift to his patients and to us, the reader.   In Memory... Read moreChevron

    Getting Help When Considering Assisted Living Recommended

    When my mother and I toured assisted living centers together to see if she wanted to move from her apartment, I saw the wide range of offerings in my area. A couple of centers were so great I'd love to have moved in myself, if I could afford it. It seemed a great way to get pampered and not have to go out in horrible weather.   Well, she... Read moreChevron

    Increasing Numbers of Men Are Joining the Army of Family Caregivers

    Their numbers keep rising. Traditionally, it's been women who have taken on the caregiver role, and women are still, statistically, in the majority. However, things are changing. When I first interviewed caregivers for my book, Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories, I thought I'd have to scour the state for male caregivers.... Read moreChevron

    National Family Caregivers Month Is a Great Month to Read About Caregiving

    November is National Family Caregivers Month. What better way to mark the occasion than to tell you about a gem of a book titled To Survive Caregiving: A Daughter's Experience, A Doctor's Advice on Finding Hope, Help and Health? I saw a brief announcement about this book, written by Cheryl E. Woodson, MD., and thought it sounded good, so I... Read moreChevron

    A Book To Spark Conversation and Thought about the Dying Process

    We will all die. If there is any one truth, that is it.

We will all die.   In the end, this inability of our culture to accept death as part of the life... Read moreChevron
