| Description When the Time Comes: Families with Aging Parents Share Their Struggles and Solutions is a timely and compassionate book about the often difficult decisions facing many families that include elderly parents. Written by journalist Paula Span, a regular contributor to the New York Times' "New Old Age" blog and an award-winning member of the faculty at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, When the Times Comes is like a support group in print, following a dozen families who help their aging parents navigate old age in a variety of ways. While it is not a how-to manual, it is practical and useful; it includes a resource lists, distillations of a great many academic studies, and interviews with researchers, experts and advocates.
