About this title

From the Author:

Many of our loved ones will live beyond our ability to care for them. I promised my parents they would never be residents of a nursing home. Since that time, my father and mother-in-law have died in nursing facilities, and my mother died in an assisted living center. No matter what our intentions or promises, we sometimes must face the tough decision of doing what people need, not what they want.

About the Author:

Doug's career has included minister, counselor, business executive, author and publisher. He and his wife, Barbara, have been parents to four daughters and long-term caregivers to three parents. Doug has a warm, conversational style in which he shares insights from various experiences. Sitting down to read a book by Doug is like having a conversation with a good friend.
