Too brief practical guideline

Too brief, not so useful. The book aims at giving “practical” guidance tips without much attempt in resolving mostly seen emotional issues and stress encountered by the caregiving children.

Big disappointment. I opened the wrong book.

Such a big disappointment. I was looking for help with our new venture in caring for my husband's mother of 95. Instead I got a "how to navigate" a huge uncaring complex system.

Written by a "experts" who want you to think an institution can care for your loved ones better than you can. Places most certainly that will not love them as much as you do. Giving cowards permission to abandon and warehouse their loved ones.

We will rely on our love and compassion instead of cold expensive advice of the "experts".

I opened the wrong book.
