Old age is a country that we will all find ourselves in someday (if, of course, we are lucky), and where our parents are already located. How can we help them in this most difficult of all journeys — and how can we prepare for it ourselves?This book is about how, if possible, to disperse the clouds in the senile sky, how to make the autumn of life more beautiful, how to warm and comfort a person in the days of prolonged life's bad weather. The author alternates medical recommendations with household advice, artfully combining the prose of life with lyrics.
