“The Journey is More Than the Destination” by Cathy and Frank James

“I’m absolutely convinced that men and women, fathers and mothers physiologically grieve differently. What we discovered was those things that worked for one, didn’t always work for the other,” says Frank James, co-author of The Journey Is More Than the Destination. Many grieving fathers will not seek outside help. They ignore books that give advice on coping with death, while women are more apt to read and reread many books on coping. Everyone is different. Men and women find different methods of coping with the unbearable loss of a child. Use whatever steps work for you. There are no formal rules or stages to go through. Women usually take advantage of help organizations, welcoming the support and comfort of others experiencing the same type of loss. Men tend to go it alone. As long as their grief does not lead to: self-abuse, abuse of loved ones, or taking advantage of the situation for detrimental ends, then there is nothing they can do wrong during the grieving journey. There is no right or wrong. There is no timeline or guide to follow. Grieving parents need to find what works for them, giving themselves time to cope with their devastating loss.

Review of the book, “How to Care for Aging Parents” by Virginia Morris

From Library Journal
This guide, aimed at the “Sandwich Generation,” provides a road map to assist adult children in caring for their aging parents. Combining personal experience with expertise in healthcare and social and political issues, Morris has produced a thoroughly researched, well-organized, and comprehensive manual. Chapters follow in logical progression, yet they can stand alone and be read on an “as-needed” basis. The topics covered include the concrete, practical areas such as home care, finances, nursing homes/hospitals, legal issues, and medical/safety concerns as well as the psychosocial areas of handling emotions, dealing with death and dying, sibling conflicts, and spiritual needs. In her discussions, Morris adds useful details such as a suggested list of things to pack for the hospital. Support for the caregiver as well as to the elderly person is covered. Sprinkled throughout the text are agencies, phone numbers, and other reference information. A good companion to Helen Susik’s Hiring Home Caregivers (LJ 5/1/95), this comprehensive resource is a great bargain. Recommended for public libraries.
