Westport author and clinical psychologist Janis Abrahms Spring presents her honest portrayal of the daunting yet fulfilling task of caring for her aging father through his final years of life, chronicled in Life with Pop: Lessons on Caring for an Aging Parent.
"Life with Pop is a remarkable book—wise, beautifully honest, humane, and resonantly uplifting. It transcends its subject because its compassionate view of life and death applies to any caring relationship, and also transcends its genre, since Janis Spring does not prescribe cookie-cutter rules but instead offers advice from the heart. This poignant and humorous blend of professional acuity combined with personal insight is universal in its appeal and its important message.”

Hello Janis. It's been quite a while since we last spoke. I've often wondered if you released the book about your dad and I'm happy that you have... Looking forward to reading it. Take care. ~Nikia
