What happens when the parents become the children? Nothing can prepare you for it. Suddenly you turn around and the people who cared and nurtured you through your childhood have almost become childlike themselves. What happened? Where did the time go? Isn't it just too doggone bad that youth is wasted on the young? This is a dance that has gone on forever. It's just the natural order of things. The main difference is that in our modern world we are all living longer, healthier and more productive lives. Sooner or later, however, the time comes when the parents who directed you for so many years, are asking YOU for direction. The request may be subtle but it is inevitable; What are you going to do? It's a very rude awakening when you first realize that your parents are vulnerable. Sometimes that realization doesn't arrive until one of your parents has passed away or the need for care is boldly underlined when your parent becomes ill. What happens is that he/she does not want to become a "burden" and just lets the illness take its course. Sometimes this occurs with tragic consequences. It is very easy to miss some of the signs. We are all busy and stressed beyond imagination. It often takes a severe wake up call to bring the problem to light. Missed appointments, lack of enthusiasm, lost weight and more are some of the warning signs that you have a parent in shutdown mode and you need to take action. I've crammed all the information you need into "How To Fold Superman's Cape - A Woman's Guide To Elder Care." It's written in plain, no nonsense words that anyone can read and understand. Get the tools you need today to make your parents remaining days with you as fulfilled as they made yours. Step up to the plate and read "How To Fold Superman's Cape - A Woman's Guide To Elder Care." and you'll sleep better... I guarantee it!
