Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Every book about aging parents sells you the opening line. Not one of them tells you what to say when they say no.You already know how to start the conversation. You have started it. You said the kind thing, in the reasonable voice, at the right moment - and your father still will not stop driving, your mother still will not let anyone in the house, and your brother still thinks you are overreacting.This is the book for what happens next.One hundred moments, each on its own page, each in the same five parts: the moment - what you're about to say - say this - when that doesn't work - why.The car keys. The unopened post. 'Don't put me in a home.' The purse she says you stole. The sibling who visits at Christmas and has opinions. The resuscitation form. The feeding tube. The week you cannot make yourself go.And a chapter no comparable book has: sixteen things everybody says about caring for an aging parent, rated by how much evidence actually supports them. Four hold up. Five have no good evidence at all - including one of the most repeated statistics in caregiving, which turns out not to survive checking.- Sourced.
