The last few weeks my siblings and I have been consumed by helping our 93 year old mom move from her home into an apartment inside the retirement community where she has lived ever since our dad passed away ten years ago.  Besides the sorting, tossing, moving and giving away of her things that there is no longer room for, we faced addressing some very personal issues as well.  Mom’s loss of memory has us questioning her check writing habits and  I found myself googling topics like “How to discuss incontinence with a parent.”  Then I came across Virginia Morris’ book ‘How to Care for Aging Parents’.  I bought four copies.  One for myself and the others I sent to my brother and two sisters.  Now, whatever else comes up, we can all be on the same page.
