As our population ages, more and more of us find ourselves caring for parents and loved ones - some 8.8 million people in the UK. An invisible army of carers holding families together. Here, Kate Mosse tells her own personal story of finding herself a carer in middle age: first, helping her heroic mother care for her beloved father through Parkinson's, then supporting her mother in widowhood, and finally as 'an extra pair of hands' for her 90-year-old mother-in-law. This is a story about the gentle heroism of our carers, about small everyday acts of tenderness, and finding joy in times of crisis. It's about juggling priorities, mind-numbing repetition, about guilt and powerlessness, about grief, and the solace of nature when we're exhausted or at a loss. It is also about celebrating older people, about learning to live differently - and think differently about ageing. But most of all, it's a story about love"--Publisher's description 600 10 $a Mosse, Kate, $d 1961- $x Family. 650 0 $a Caregivers. 650 0 $a Adult children of aging parents. 650 0 $a Long-term care of the sick. 650 0 $a Intergenerational relations. 650 0 $a Aging. 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9781782835516 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220921010039.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B685C900397211ED8205CFA23DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
