...Jeanne Walker, the daughter who has had the best relationship with their (often difficult) mother. At 59, Walker works part time as a nurse. Her older brother helps out twice a week, and their three siblings, who live in other states, spend their vacations on parent duty. When their mom complains unrelentingly, Walker calls her siblings to vent. "It makes a difference to me to feel I have their support," she says. (See the top 10 medical breakthroughs...
