A Very Ungrateful Old Lady

Sheila Solomon Klass was the mother of the pediatrician Perri Klass.  In her essay in the NY Times (11/8/2013) she wrote: 
"I am a legally blind octogenarian. I have wonderful adult children who often help me, but I can never accept their help gracefully.
It is a terrible thing to be a burden. They say I am not, but I know better. Perhaps many of you have parents like me.

See A Very Ungrateful Old Lady.

Sheila Klass died in March 2014.
