Official synopsis Publisher
“I wish she was dead.” In Give Us This Day, Judy’s death wish for her mother seems better than sending her to a nursing home. Give Us This Day will inform baby-boomers about aging parents and help them accept the changes in them. Reflection on baby-boomer’s parent’s lives forces their children to dissect and assess their own lives in comparison, sending them back to childhood days, young parenting days and to the future to their own senior years. With much struggle and conflict one becomes a parent’s parent and accepts responsibility as an unwilling caregiver, and possibly, a willing caregiver with a spiritual enjoyment of every day. This work appeals universally as a memoir, especially for mothers, daughters, and baby-boomers. The inspirational and humorous book is relevant to seniors, anyone who knows a senior, and everyone who acknowledges their own imminent senior years.
