Daly (Because of Grace) has found through experience that it's possible to navigate the guilt, exhaustion, and frustration of dealing with aging parents with grace and fortitude that comes from depending on Christ. The author considers all of the practical issues in caregiving, from mourning losses, handling medical and financial matters, and dealing with situations such as taking away car keys. She counsels people to not only take care of themselves but to develop a sense of love, forgiveness, and peace when coping with a parent's dementia or unrealistic demands. VERDICT Although geared toward those with a Christian faith, this book will help the countless baby boomers who are providing for their loved ones.
