"Caring for Treasures" provides an overview of caregiving so you don't feel overwhelmed. It is a mix of personal experience and practical advice, with a heavy dose of encouragement for those who provide care to their parents at an early age. Elaine L. Orr and four siblings were fortunate to provide care for their parents over many years, beginning in their early teens. She did a brief version of "Caring for Treasures" in 1995, and then put it aside. When her article on "How to Help Your Aging Parents: Deciding When to Step In" had 7,000 hits on Yahoo Voices, she decided to share her experiences as an ebook. The humor with which her family handled her mom's years with MS is reflected in "Caring for Treasures."
