A Catholic Guide to Caring for Your Aging Parent
Dodds insists that faith is a fundamental part of caregiving, and her approach is deeply rooted in Catholic spirituality. She shows adult children how they can love and serve their aging parents better by deepening their own spiritual lives. "Caregiving", she says, "is a time of many grace-filled moments."

Three extensive appendices provide comprehensive checklists for assessing needs, a compilation of resources, and an anthology of prayers.
