About this listen
Find balance, peace, and sanity in the midst of caring for your aging parents—discover the secrets to managing the emotional, physical, and financial tolls of being a caregiver.
- Do you find yourself stretched too thin between caring for your children and your aging parents?
- Do you feel overwhelmed juggling the financial, emotional, and physical demands of it all?
- Are you looking for ways to take care of yourself while meeting the needs of everyone around you?
Perhaps you want to provide the best care for your parents but don't know where to start.
Maybe you're an only child or the only person close by and responsible for your parent's needs
….Or
Maybe you've been putting off taking action because it just feels too overwhelming.
Whatever the case may be, the challenge of caregiving is real. The endless tasks, complex decisions, and emotional distress can wear you down, not to mention the legal, financial, and medical aspects you may not even want to acknowledge—But know that you are not alone in this journey.
Being your parents’ caregiver doesn’t mean you have to feel overwhelmed and run down 24/7. You can take care of yourself while providing the best care for your aging parents—and you’ll find out how right here.

The audiobook is compassionate without being patronising, in fact the author's voice is wise and caring and really offers the reader support and when discussing this very sensitive but important subject. And also brings in guidance on self-care if your role needs to shift to becoming more of a carer - really important,. highly recommend.

Each chapter unraveled the complexities of caregiving with the deftness of a master storyteller, offering practical advice that served as my North Star. The sections on managing the emotional roller coaster? Pure gold. They were like a personal therapist, giving me permission to breathe amid the chaos. And the financial guidance? I'd liken it to a lighthouse, illuminating the murky waters of estate planning and insurance.
The book didn't just talk at me; it walked with me, offering a hand to hold when making those tough medical decisions. It was like having a wise elder in the room, nodding in understanding and pushing me towards self-care without a hint of condescendence.
Navigating the caregiver's journey can be as tricky as a tightrope walk over a canyon, but this guide had me feeling like a seasoned acrobat, twirling with confidence. It whispered secrets of balance and sanity, transforming my burdened shuffle into a graceful dance.
In the end, I didn't just find a guide to caring for my parents; I found a manifesto for reclaiming my peace of mind. For anyone teetering on the edge of caregiver burnout, consider this book your safety net. Trust me, it's the hug you need and the coach you deserve!

For so many of us, the onset of dementia and other age-related problems in our parents is confusing and heartbreaking, leaving a sense of isolation and helplessness in the face of these and other issues.
Ms. Roth has created a beautiful roadmap to guide you through the challenges of being a caregiver based on her own experience coupled with considerable research.
How I wish I’d had this book back when I really needed it! Her suggestions to avoid burnout, to give yourself your own care to remain on top of the situation with home, family, and parents are absolute gold. Learning the vagaries of aging brains, the red flags of dementia, and dealing with your loved one not knowing who you are are just a few of the sensitive areas for which she offers practical advice. Legal and medical considerations are addressed as well, along with financial concerns.
Shout out to narrator Jacki Giardina for bringing the book to life in such an engaging manner.
“Caring for Aging Parents” is, in my opinion, an absolute must-have for anyone facing this challenging season of life.
