Book Overview
New York Times bestselling author Susan Piver brings her wisdom and insight to the millions of readers who must confront the process of caring for elderly parents. Witnessing the declining health of a parent, and the inevitable thoughts of mortality that accompany the process, can take a heavy emotional and physical toll—particularly if parents and children find it awkward to communicate their fears and needs to one another. To remove the boundaries and enhance these necessary dialogues, Susan Piver applies her thought-provoking question-and-answer format to The Hard Questions for Adult Children and Their Aging Parents . With 100 questions on topics ranging from the practical to the emotional, Susan makes it possible to have candid, comforting conversations that will have lasting benefits. The book is divided into categories, including questions for siblings only and for parents only, followed by specific questions regarding finances, health care, legalities and paperwork, housing, relationships, personal history, and spirituality—all designed to facilitate this delicate process and give all members of the family time for contemplation.

Great starting place for difficult discussions. Many topics that one doesn't always think to ask about.
Making life a little easier...one question at a time.

Susan Piver provides a great service to all of us--especially Baby Boomers who now must face life's great challenge: the death of parents--and eventually ourselves. Piver's previous books seem like a natural lead-in to this her newest book. She shows us how to face the facts of life--and death--with integrity and wisdom. An important book to have--and share with friends and family.
