Caring for Aging Parents in India  (Paperback, Siva Prasad Bose, Joy Bose)

The journey of caring for elderly parents is a challenging experience that many of us will face at some point in our lives. In India, where cultural values emphasize family bonds and respect for elders, this responsibility carries deep emotional significance. However, the landscape of caregiving has evolved with the rise of nuclear families, urban migration, and the increasing demands of modern life. Today, grown-up children are not only navigating the physical and emotional needs of their aging parents but also balancing their own careers, children, and personal responsibilities. This book is intended as a practical guide to help those who find themselves caring for elderly parents. As parents age, their physical health often declines, and they may face emotional and psychological challenges like depression, loneliness, and cognitive decline. In this book, we discuss some tools and strategies to navigate this complex role with grace and empathy.
