Publisher's Summary

Grave State of Affairs is a humorous recollection of the week of a mother’s death and burial. A week when almost everything that could go wrong did, and the author’s attempts to make sense of the uncontrollable chaos. Deeply insightful, emotion-filled, and laugh-out-loud funny, this book takes an honest look at human perceptions following disturbing events and how they can determine the quality or misery of our lives going forward. You will find tears, humanity, shock, awe, and laughter. Learn the personalities and idiosyncrasies of her family of origin that help paint their life story. Experience stories within the story.

  • Discover her secret to managing unpleasant memories that you can incorporate into your life.
  • Find brief ribbons of family history weaving through the storyline.

Every year, the number of baby boomers in retirement with living parents is increasing due to healthier lifestyles and increasing technology. The reality of old people taking care of old people is becoming a way of life for so many that there is an increasing need for support and coping mechanisms. After spending many years in the home health industry, and hearing all the "stories", the author examines coping experiences with her family under the unbelievably ridiculous circumstances in this story.

Wrapped in humor, this is an astonishingly true account of misfortune to the extreme and the foibles of being human. Just hit the "Buy Now" button now.
