Description

It's an issue facing many grown children: providing care for their aging parents. It's not always as easy as it seems. In How Hard Could It Be?, author Margaret Sheehan provides a firsthand look at the world of caregiving as she discusses the details of serving in that role for her parents.

Insightful, and with a humorous slant, Sheehan shares the lessons and surprises she encountered in her cherished adventure of caregiver. Surprises included changes in her marriage, her relationships with siblings, her employment, as well as in her relationship with her parents. How Hard Could It Be? tells not only about the everyday challenges she faced but also about the difficulties of dealing with America's health care and home care systems and their trappings.

With tips for the bold and comfort for the timid, Sheehan offers information for others to help them through this process, to think through their decisions, become better prepared, and feel affirmed whether or not they decide to undertake a caregiving role. A catalyst for beginning important discussions about aging and caregiving, How Hard Could It Be? addresses the fears and the worries and the joys of caring for loved ones.
