Unwrapping the Sandwich Generation: Life Vignettes About Seniors And Their Adult Boomer Children Kindle Edition

by Susan Cunningham (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 9 ratings
“A real find. Not a how-to manual or step-by-step action plan, it instead offers an unyielding glimpse into the hearts, minds and behaviors of seniors.” —Marilee Driscoll, author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Long-Term Care Planning
 
This collection of vignettes addresses senior concerns and how their adult children address those concerns. Read stories about real people and real events, and how they relate to the aging process.
 
“Sue Cunningham has written a little gem of a book that is both insightful and practical. Drawing on her years of experience working with the children of aging parents, she has collected a series of pithy stories and observations that simultaneously inspire and educate. Unwrapping the Sandwich Generation is a recommended read for professionals and children of elders alike!” —John Paul Marosy, president, Bringing Elder Care Home LLC, MA
 
“Not a ‘how to’ book, but rather real life, relatable stories that provide a glimpse into what it’s like to be part of the sandwich generation.” —CareGivers.com, “9 Sanity Saving Resources for Sandwich Generation Month”
 
“Unwrapping the Sandwich Generation should be a bit of required reading for counselors of seniors who want to be knowledgeable of and familiar with all the things that are happening to the aging population. A must read for children of aging parents who are becoming more dependent than they want to become. A ‘coffee table’ tome for continuing care centers where we now allow our parents to reside, this book will be in use for some time to come for it is us.” —Fred L. Adair, PhD, LPC, NCC, Professor Emeritus, The College of William and Mary

    Wonderful and touching. All adult children should read it before they begin their own journey of life. With humor and love and things to think about.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2007
    I loved this book of vignettes. It teaches us how to talk with our parents about subjects that are difficult. I read it, then I gave it to our daughter. She is giving it to her daughter. Read it now before you need to. Read it before it is too late. I wish I had the book before my mother passed on. The years are precious. Thanks, Susan, for your insights.

    Sue has given us beautifully written stories that guide us through the nuances of aging. Through these vignettes, we are given a bridge to compassionately and gracefully embrace the issues that arise as we age. This is a wonderful resource for seniors and their adult children.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Long Term Care Planning Month Founder Rates Book Highly
    Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2005
    Wow! This book by Susan Cunningham is a special find. It offers keen insight into the emotions and feelings surrounding the challenge of long term care. A must-read for baby boomers who aren't sure how to help their parents as they age, and a must-read for advisors. Don't look here for answers, but instead for something that's much harder to find: insight and understanding.
