Oy vey. This was fantastic, but so depressing. I now desperately fear old age, bed sores, becoming a hoarder and having family find embarrassing things in my night stand, soft and colorless foods and developing old lady body odors.

Heartbreaking and so, so real. Made me call my mom.

my review reflects only my personal reading experience (how i felt while reading; how easy or hard it was to get through; whether or not i was in the right headspace for it; etc.) of this book and not necessarily the content

Very touching and almost alarming honest and non-self-protecting in presentation. This is a first person account from a daughter of her parent's very old ages and death. As a person who lost a parent in my 20's, it is not something I really relate to at all from my own mother's death...but watching was grandparent's end of life...it does speak to that. Interesting and touching.

Brilliant. Honest. Talented. Witty and Sharp. This graphic novel is a guidestone for everyone who is/has gone through the process of a parent’s (or any close one’s) death. Also a reflective tone of thinking about ones own process. A really great book putting much into perspective. A quick, enjoyable read despite the topic!
You have found the source of the River Ebay. (stuff!)
They weren't that brief. (visits)
When they got back, my father remembered NOTHING. (final Israel trip)
I wish that, at the end of life, when things were truly "done," there was something to look forward to. (EXTREME palliative care, for when you've had it with everything else.
But she (mother) was hard, and she had a temper. I gave up on ever trying to get "my way." I barely knew it existed.
