[SR: 13126331], Paperback, [EAN: 9781595266828], Aeon Publishing Inc., Aeon Publishing Inc., Book, [PU: Aeon Publishing Inc.], Aeon Publishing Inc., Humor, anger, love, hate, grief, and laughter have a curious way of coexisting when an adult child is faced with a seemingly endless job of caring for a failing parent. Shock, anger, then angst, may be felt when learning that a parent needs serious assistance and is depending on the solitary adult child for help. Waiting for Wings portrays the complex journey of a daughter helping her mother reach her final day of life with grace, in the face of their thorny relationship. Navigating a maze of elderly healthcare issues, Waiting for Wings provides insights into the world of dementia, care facilities, medications, and final passage. Humorous, cynical, and inspirational quotations reflect a mood for the topic at hand. Practical tips are offered within the candid descriptions of care facilities, parent-child dynamics, financial matters, medications, funeral options, psycho-spiritual issues, and the dying process. While taking on caregiving duties, emotionally charged issues of parent-child dynamics often resurface as roles are reversed. Although an impending death affords an opportunity for psychological, emotional, and spiritual healing between family members, relationships may not be healed as much as we might like. It is sincere thought and intention that matters most, regardless of the outcome. Raised in close proximity to the namesake sign of Hollywood, California, E.A. Davis resides in Corvallis, Oregon, where she multitasks a plant pathology research career with myriad other activities. Her natural inquisitiveness, perceptiveness, and open-mindedness enabled Ms. Davis to discern subtle vagaries within the health and caregiving systems, while addressing her mother's end-of-physical-life issues. During this journey she discovered many people are unaware of these processes. With this book she hopes to alert and encourage others who may find themselves in similar situations., 2438, Crime & Criminals, 2437, Specific Groups, 2, Biographies & Memoirs, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 20, Parenting & Relationships, 11350, Adoption, 11352, Aging Parents, 10166921011, Babysitting, Day Care & Child Care, 11365, Family Activities, 11367, Family Health, 11370, Family Relationships, 68181, Fertility, 761128, Humor, 4734, Marriage & Adult Relationships, 11401, Parenting, 4676, Pregnancy & Childbirth, 11434, Reference, 11436, Special Needs, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 468220, Business & Finance, 468226, Communication & Journalism, 468204, Computer Science, 468224, Education, 468212, Engineering, 468206, Humanities, 468222, Law, 468228, Medicine & Health Sciences, 684283011, Reference, 468216, Science & Mathematics, 468214, Social Sciences, 684300011, Test Prep & Study Guides, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books<

Fawcett Columbine, 1997 Stated First Edition - August, 1997 - Book measures 9 x 5 3/4 - Near-new condition - NO writing, marks or tears - It is an offer anthropologist Katharine Sundquist cannot refuse. A chance to study the unusual skeletal remains unearthed on the volcanic flanks of Haleakala, Maui. Yet for Katharine's sixteen-year-old son, Michael, the sudden move is jarring. It's the last thing he needs while struggling with the still painful death of his father. And here, beyond the sparkling beaches, masked by the deceptive beauty of the rainforest, a terrible danger waits. It begins with a video transmission so shocking that Katharine cannot believe what flashes on her computer screen - then instantly, inexplicably, vanishes. Secret deliveries in the dead of the night to a restricted wing of the high-tech laboratory in which she works signal that behind locked doors some sinister experiment is unfolding. And then, with the sudden, unexplained death of Michael's friend, a disturbing truth dawns: the corporation that is funding Katharine's dig has a far greater investment than she has imagined - an investment in medical terror. And her son may be part of their hideous grand plan.. First Edition. Trade Paperback. Fine/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall., Fawcett Columbine, 1997, New York: New York Signet 1961., 1961.
