Publisher's Summary

This book is about the long and often winding road to losing a parent.

When you’re going through a loss, it feels comforting to talk to people who have been through it and understand how difficult it is emotionally—people who understand that there is so much to learn, including things you have to learn "on the job” and many things you'll wish you'd known earlier.

Let me be that friend. I lost my dad after almost 10 months in hospice, and I went through so much. I created this book with the information that I learned the hard way.

I will shoot you straight about what it’s like, what you learn, and how to go on with your life in the midst of the grief. And I’ll help you with the logistical details—there are so many—including:

  • Choosing care for your parent, including options, how to research, and questions to ask
  • Dealing with dementia, including what not to say
  • Ten things to make the end easier, including information on powers of attorney, writing the obituary, planning the service, getting finances in order, and more
  • Finding a hospice provider, including services they provide and questions to ask
  • What to expect in the final days, including pain management
  • And so much more

Everyone’s grief is unique, but this book will help arm you with knowledge and prepare you for what’s to come if you’re on the road to losing a parent.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
