Customer Reviews

Staying in charge; are your wishes known?

Staying in Charge is an invaluable asset to anyone's library, whether beginning to contemplate their own eventual care or having to consider another's care. The topic of advanced and end-of-life care is not one we naturally gravitate toward for pleasure reading, but this is a positive, easily read book that can be accessed as needed. There are ample resources for help and information. Better to be aware, than rudely surprised. E.A. Davis, author, Waiting for Wings: Accompanying a Parent to the Edge of Life
