Are you overwhelmed by the needs of an aging parent?

When your turn to care becomes your need for care . . .

When the roles are reversed and your parents need your help but you don't know how to make them happy . . .

When you are exhausted, drained, criticized, and pulled in different directions . . .

You need to know you are NOT alone!

Marlene Bagnull knows the pain and privilege of caring for an aging parent. During the five years she cared for her mother she longed for a book she could keep on her nightstand--not a how-to book to remind her of more things she ought to be doing, but a devotional book written by other caregivers. She has now compiled such a book.

I can't begin to tell you how greatly My Turn to Care has helped me.
 Having both my parents to care for -- my father on hospice  and my mother very weak and confined to a wheelchair,
and both of them mentally confused -- has been quite a strain.
 Some nights I just pick up My Turn ... and read, and always the Lord points out something
 that I had undoubtedly read before  but it is beautifully applicable just then.
Thank you for being the compiler, and I thank God that He gave you the vision.

• The Nursing Home Decision - How do you know, really know, that a nursing home is the best alternative for your parent? How to find the best home, work through possible feelings of failure and guilt, and continue to provide the care your mom or dad needs after they enter a nursing home.
