Caring for many of us, especially women, is inevitable as our parents age and illness takes away their independence.
Kate talks through her caring experiences in a very loving and authentic way, which highlights the impact it has on all aspects of her life. For those that have been through this period it echoes many of the practical and emotional hurdles that illness and ageing present but with real moments of tenderness and joy that could have been forgotten.
"Days of remorse and reproach so familiar to all carers, the sense you are failing at everything. That I should have done more, I should have coped better. But when all is said and done, I'd not have had it any other way. We are who we are because of those we love, and those we allow to love us."
At no point is this all about Kate and her experience, as she manages to give real colour to her parents and mother in law, their life and the positive impact they continue to have as they age.
As she says in the final words, this book is ‘a celebration of three wonderful people’. For those that care or know carers, it may well resonate and elicit a feeling of hope and appreciation.
