This book offers therapists guidance in helping multigenerational families with older members understand and cope with the myriad challenges they face. The authors translate the "aging process" from an abstract, nebulous concept into a concrete stage of life with its own struggles and opportunities and examine the intergenerational impact of aging. Full consideration is given to issues such as confronting death; life validation; life review; exoneration, forgiveness, and healing in the family; and balancing obligations and entitlements.

This review is from: Finishing Well: Aging And Reparation In The Intergenerational Family (Hardcover)
Hargrave and Anderson's book, Finishing Well provides a solid foundation for understanding the many issues associated with Intergenerational families. Gaining an understanding of families and their dynamics are often a challenge. The challenge grows exponentially when the family or families have intergenerational issues. Each generation has its own unique needs. This volume provides direction and a road map that will help counselors to navigate through the many challenges presented in intergenerational families, along with aging related issues.
Although we each face the challenges of aging, in many cases, our understanding of what is going on is weak. This book provides the insight and direction needed to help care-givers deal with the many needs that families consisting of several generations present with.
