Description:

"Getting old is not for sissies," said her mother. Artist N. Scrantz Lersch kept a cartoon diary during her mother's difficult last years. "Waiting for the Next Crisis" uses simple pen and ink drawings to portray the struggles of a daughter trying to help a fiercely self-sufficient woman who is losing her hearing and mobility, and hates being old and becoming dependent on her daughter. This graphic memoir is funny, sad, and heart wrenching, and reminds anyone caring for an aging parent that their struggles are not unique.
