| CHECK IT OUT OEFC Library News When Your Parent Becomes Your Child by Ken Abraham At first, Ken Abraham wrote off his mother's changes in behavior as quirks that just come with old age. There was memory loss, physical decline, hygiene issues, paranoia, and uncharacteristic attitudes. He soon realized that dementia had changed her life―and his family's―forever. With humor and spiritual reminders of God's command to honor our parents, Abraham encourages readers through often-difficult responsibilities, suggesting many practical things that families can do to make the experience safer, kinder, and more endurable for everyone involved. |
