For new AADMM members questions about how to run their business are often as urgent as those about daily money management. Even long-term DMMs need information to keep up-to-date on effectively managing the day-to-day activities of an entrepreneurial business.

Now to supplement information that can be obtained through AADMM educational programs and networking, the association has introduced an online Bookshop. Through special arrangements with publishers, the AADMM is gathering a library of resources to help DMMs in their business operations.

Bestselling author and expert on baby boomers, Gail Sheehy outlines strategies and conveys stories of effective, successful family caregiving. Forty four million Americans care for an ill or elderly person in their homes. Until now, there has not been a single resource they can turn to for direction, support, and inspiration. Similar to the way she identifi ed and directed women through life’s stages in PASSAGES, here Sheehy identifi es the eight crucial stages of care giving: Shock & Mobilization, New Normal, Boomerang, Playing God, “I Can’t Do This Anymore,” Coming Back, The In Between Stage, The Long Goodbye. With empathy, intelligence, and backed by a formidable amount of research, Sheehy speaks about this enormous and growing group and provides a resource that will become the bible for this life stage.

In addition, Sheehy uses her own story of caregiving throughout the book. Sheehy’s husband, Clay Felker, larger-than-life founder and publisher of New York Magazine, suffered from cancer for more than ten years. His death in July 2008 was noted by all the major media and was a cover story for New York Magazine. Sheehy has experienced all the stages she describes in the book, and backs them up with the stories, triumphs, and strategies of other caregivers who are coping, and even thriving.

DMM Barbara Hance wrote this book to share her feelings about the experience of owning her own business and working with the elderly and disabled, to show how it is better to laugh than to wallow in despair, and to demonstrate how humor has a way of connecting people. Through a special arrangement with her publisher we are able to offer this lovely 193 page hardback book to members at a discount.

When AADMM Board Member Fredi O’Hara reviewed this book in 2005, she called it “a poignant journey thorough all life’s unexpected . . . peppered with Barbara’s very humorous observations and frustrations as she deals with her own aging process.” Each chapter stands alone as she introduces the reader to the real characters in her story and at chapter’s end there is a lesson to be learned which she relates with humor and love. Ms. O’Hara recommends that “reading it is a present you give yourself and you may want to present it to someone as a warm act of sharing.”

“Events in anyone’s life can take a sudden turn and catch you unprepared,” says Dr. Trudy Couch, who found herself in that position when she nearly died a number of years ago. She developed this guide to aid her two daughters should they need to act on her behalf. Now in its second edition, Getting It Together has been reviewed in the New York Times and shared throughout the country through her publisher Project Compassion. In her review for the AADMM newsletter, Board Member Pamela Nielsen Brehler suggests that DMMs might consider implementing the use of Getting It Together as part of their practice, or giving the guides as gifts to their clients.
