About this listen
For most of us, caregiving for aging parents is brand-new territory we don’t get much time to prepare for. But while the experience is scary and exhausting, it can also be a rewarding time filled with moments that bring deep joy and fulfillment, and a stronger relationship with the people who cared for you when you needed it most.
Michelle Seitzer knows this well. Her varied experiences—caring for four younger siblings, a grandfather, and a special needs child; being cared for by her husband when she had cancer; extensive work in the healthcare space—have given her a lifetime of tips, resources, strategies, and advice. And in this compassionate Audible Original, she shares them all with you.
Think of Taking Care of Your Aging Parents as a conversation with a trusted friend who’s already walked this path, and now wants to help you navigate (or prepare for) your own caregiving experience. These six lectures are full of practical, foundational content about everything from Medicare to advanced directives to creative ideas for self-care in your free moments. What are the five kinds of emotional curveballs you might experience as a caregiver for your parents? How can you build an effective caretaking team of doctors, mediators, and community-based services? How should you approach difficult topics like medical diagnoses or moving a parent out of their home?
Regardless of the specific obstacles ahead of you and your aging parents, this is a powerful, inspirational guide to finding your way through them.

The MANipulator manual. Keep your man interested and begging for more without playing games. So many women get in trouble in their love lives, and 99.9 percent of that trouble could have been avoided if they'd said "Well, f**k him!" a bit more often. Too many women are way too nice and compliant to their men, especially when these men don't deserve that kind of treatment. I, as a dating coach and author of books for women who want to get men, cannot take it anymore.

World War II is the defining conflict of the 20th century, one that created a line in the sands of history dividing the pre-war and post-war eras. In this epoch-defining conflict lies another definitive moment: the invasion of a 50-mile stretch of coast in Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. This battle, also known as D-Day, was the pivot point of the war in Europe. Its success led to a nearly yearlong, bloody campaign that saw the liberation of France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands, followed by the final defeat of Hitler’s Third Reich.

Why are we scared of ghosts, zombies, vampires, demons, and monsters, when we know they are not real? Why do dark attics give us the creeps? How do writers and directors know exactly what anxieties to tap into, so that we break out in goosebumps, cover our eyes, and cringe? Shannon Scott invites you into the spooky, creepy, and sometimes surprising world of the horror genre to examine how popular scary movies and books manipulate our collective and individual fears—not only to frighten us, but also to address taboo subjects, and to reflect and comment on the state of our society.

Story
There is a common misconception that sex, love, and marriage in medieval and early modern Europe followed very specific, inflexible rules and expectations that remained unchanged for centuries. Throughout the 10 lectures of Sex, Love, and Marriage from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, you will find that looking closer at marriage and sexuality in this period reveals a vibrant history of flexibility, of questioning and adaptation, and of evolutionary - and sometimes even revolutionary - change.

Story
Professor Edelstein examines the enduring appeal of Judy Blume’s books. Over seven lessons, you’ll learn how Blume pioneered middle-grade and young adult (YA) literature and helped to make these genres the global sensations they are today. You’ll identify the themes and motifs that run throughout her books, and you’ll review Blume’s books as literary work worthy of analysis. You’ll also see why the very act of questioning (about the existence of God, the persistence of racism, the unwritten rules of suburbia) is so central to Blume’s vision of coming-of-age literature.

Peer inside the fascinating world of the mind of the dog with associate professor of psychology Ellen Furlong of Illinois Wesleyan University.

Difficult Topic yet Necessary
I wish that I had taken the time to research and become acquainted with this topic before I lost three parents.
The information is very helpful as we encounter failing health with our friends and family members. I will have it in my library now!

Lots of holes in content
If you are looking for more reminders to take care of yourself while caregiving or how not to beat yourself up over your perceived failings, this Chicken Soup For The Caregiver Soul-like book is for you.
If you are looking for concrete steps with background explanations, this book won’t help much. I am still confused over the author’s advice to “clean out the bathroom and linens” of a passed loved one before addressing/securing valuables. And no mention of locking down the credit of a terminal family member as soon as possible to avoid identity theft? I would have appreciated much more advice on how to care for a parent without infantilizing them, even when said parent has become like a terrible teenager or worse, a two year old.

immensely practical, immediately useful.
as a general internist, I saw the agencies she mentioned and others to be similarly helpful to my elderly patients, long before they were optimism based on the confidence,she acquired from coordinating patient care.
