Rosenkuss und Dornenkrone

&ldquo;Unique and lovely. . . . How wonderful to have [Gross&rsquo;s] mix of sage advice, pithy insights and practical discoveries at hand.&rdquo; &mdash;Abraham Verghese, author of&#160;Cutting for Stone&#160;&ldquo;Nothing can fully prepare you for the overwhelming experience of caring for your elderly parents, but Jane Gross&rsquo;s new book, A Bittersweet Season, comes awfully close . . . Gross is an incisive critic of our systems and institutions.&rdquo; &mdash;The Seattle Times&ldquo;A forthright story and trenchant advice. . . . Intimate and affecting.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review &ldquo;A smart and highly detailed book about navigating the complex eldercare system as it related to healthcare, insurance and end of life. . . . The kind of book social workers might suggest to the family who craves more perspective about the logistical issues mentioned above. . . . Readers will find they are engaged by how much they learn in reading Gross&rsquo;s account.&rdquo; &mdash;Psychology Today"Hugely informative, and a gripping read." &mdash;Betty Rollin, author of Last Wish&#160;&ldquo;A Bittersweet Season is sure to become required reading for anyone with an elderly parent who depends on long-term care. It's also a worthwhile read for anyone who is interested in America's health care system as it braces for the demands posed by demographic changes that include a sharp rise in the group now termed the "old old." &mdash;The Huffington Post&#160;&ldquo;An invaluable guide. . . . Excellent. . . . . Jane Gross has taken her own painful experiences and worked hard to give needed help to us all.&rdquo; &mdash;Commonweal Magazine&#160;"With great insight and empathy, Jane Gross guides us through one of the most difficult of all life transitions&mdash;the decline and death of our parents. Not only does she provide a wonderfully helpful guide for how and what to do, and when. She also enables us to understand what our parents need, and what we ourselves need, during this passage.&rdquo; &mdash;Robert B. Reich, author of Aftershock&#160;&#160;&ldquo;This is tough stuff, and Gross writes movingly about the toll it takes on her and other caregivers. . . . She&rsquo;s serious about documenting the often hidden workload borne by middle-aged daughters and sons.&rdquo; &mdash;The Boston Globe&#160;&ldquo;A Bittersweet Season deals with a sobering topic. But the narrative is so lively and informative that readers will come away feeling more prepared than pessimistic . . . An intelligent guide to handling the onset of old age with sagacity and sensitivity.&rdquo; &mdash;BookPage&#160;&ldquo;This book is an invaluable and comprehensive primer on what most Americans will face soon.&#160; Its honest and loving message is to prepare yourself now.&rdquo; &mdash;Jeff Madrick, author of Age of Greed&#160;&ldquo;Readers may pick up this very well-written book to learn about taking care of their own ailing parents, but will soon realize that it&rsquo;s also a wake-up call to become educated in order to make informed decisions about their own inevitable aging.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Jewish Week&ldquo;A Bittersweet Season is a brave and compelling book by a masterful storyteller.&rdquo; &mdash;Carol Levine, director, Families and Health Care Project, United Hospital Fund
