"Getting old is not for sissies," said her mother. Artist N. Scrantz Lersch kept a cartoon diary during her mother's difficult last years. "Waiting for the Next Crisis" uses simple pen and ink drawings to portray the struggles of a daughter trying to help a fiercely self-sufficient woman who is losing her hearing and mobility, and hates being old and becoming dependent on her daughter.
