Summary: Permission To Live ( while caring for an aging parent )
Comment: After reading Love, Honor, & Value I was struck by many things about this book. The first was the extraordinary personal story of Suzanne Geffen Mintz. (President of NFCA). Each chapter touched on something that I'm presently experiencing at different times of the days; months; years of caregiving my dear mother Petie.
While flying back to NYC two weeks ago I realized that something written in Chapter 4 was the true core of my situation. Suzanne said, If you lie down, no one will die. Isn't that what we are afraid of in our hearts?
For me, each time I get on a plane while dividing my life between New York and Michigan to care for mom, I pray that I will be with her when she dies. I'm smart enough to know that I could walk down the hall of the nursing home she lives in and that she could pass away then.
Each time I fly now I give myself permission (as Suzanne says) as a gift to care for myself and my husband who may be giving the greatest gift of love and sacrifice that I've ever seen. He shares me with mom and airplanes. Our sacrifice has lasted almost eight years but we believe in doing the right thing thing for Petie and ultimately for ourselves.
Thank you Suzanne for your gift of this book.

Summary: A primer for families tending the ill and disabled
Comment: Love, Honor & Value (author: Suzanne Mintz) discusses in practical, often poignant terms, the problems faced by long-term caregivers. The books offers practical and sound advice for handling day-to-day problems, and includes sources of information and help for families coping with the physical, emotional and financial burdens of caregiving. The author, president and co-founder of the National Family Caregiving Association, is herself is caregiver to her beloved husband who has suffered with multiple sclerosis for 30 years. She writes with uncompromising candor and insight. As a former long-term caregiver myself, I recognize the wisdom and usefulness of this book and can recommend it without reservation. I wish it had been available during my 17 years of caregiving.
