Mimi's nurses told us that we had to write a book regarding her stay with us. "You are doing everything right," they said. It didn't feel like it at the time!

Mimi's nurses told us that we had to write a book regarding her stay with us. "You are doing everything right," they said. It didn't feel like it at the time! When my husband and I invited my 93-year-old mother to live with us, we had no idea of what was involved, how long she would stay, what her needs would be, or how it would impact the family. From transforming our home to sleepless nights, we were unprepared for the work, or the overwhelming love and healing that we experienced. Living with Mimi explains our family's journey. I also provide practical advise on such topics as how to prepare one's home; questions to ask at doctor appointments; resources for locating and evaluating assisted living residences, in-home care, and visiting nurses; and the benefits of hospice. Armed with this information, one can make a knowledgeable decision whether or not to go down this path. It isn't for everyone. If it is for you, may this book ease your journey so that you can enjoy the blessing that comes from taking care of possibly the hardest and most rewarding houseguest one may ever have.
