Abstract:
"Although Hendershott has spent many years teaching and writing about the sociological aspects of aging, she confesses that "none of this could have prepared me for the overwhelming challenge of caring for my own mother-in-law in my home." She explores the process of family denial about symptoms, work-family conflict, and the unique problems of children of caregivers in an effort to find solutions to this caregiving challenge." "She makes the social scientific research accessible and couples it with anecdotal information gleaned from interactions with other caregivers and her personal experience. The result is a book that gives family caregivers new insight into their motivations for caregiving."--BOOK JACKET.
