Although Hendershott has spent many years teaching and writing
about the sociological aspects of aging, she writes that "none of
this could have prepared me for the overwhelming challenge of
caring for my own mother-in-law in my home." She introduces baby
boomers as the unexpected caregivers of the coming decades. The
process of family denial about symptoms, work-family conflict, and
the unique problems of children of caregivers are explored in an
effort to find solutions to the caregiving challenge. Social
science research is made accessible and is coupled with anecdotal
information gleaned from interactions with other caregivers and
personal experience. Throughout the book, Hendershott shows family
caregivers that by gaining insight into their motivations for
caregiving and by drawing from family support and help from the
community, they can move beyond maladaptive caregiving coping
styles, to a rewarding reality-based caregiving experience.
