An irresistibly poignant, funny, and compelling biography about the reality of taking care of your parents when you're struggling to take care of yourself.
“Touching and true, as well as endlessly funny” – Miranda Sawyer
It was the type of phone call that we all dread. Your elderly father has been admitted to the hospital. Your mother will soon be alone at home. The answer? Drop everything. Go. Help. The reality? Not so simple. Suddenly, you're a child again, abandoned in the heated home where you grew up. They need help 24/7, that's obvious. And of course, you want to help. But soon your life begins to unravel almost as fast as their health.
Amidst piled-up chores, food, and care, there are days that test you, days when everything goes wrong, and days when, miraculously, everyone is reborn. And in between it all, you learn how to care. This time with emotion.
Irresistibly funny, unyielding, and deeply moving, this is a love letter to family and friends, to caregivers and to anyone who has ever packed a small bag intending to stay for a few days. This is the true story of what it really means to be a caregiver. This is The Clumsy Caregiver's Story.
“Funny, bitter, moving, and profound... like an existential soap opera – only with more laughs.” - Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan
