The Takeover: An Unexpected Caregiver's Story

by Mimi Pockross

Overview

So how does a daughter cope with moving her elderly parents from Chicago to Denver and becoming their primary caregiver? This is a story about learning on the job to deal with constant medical and emotional crises, about deciphering the eldercare lingo, about trying to figure out how to maintain some sort of quality of life, about juggling the financial and legal problems associated with the aging process, and about the surprising joys of making life meaningful enough that when one looks back at this time, it all seems worthwhile.
