Yes, I think Marg did a great job on this article. She offered a pretty neat perspective on the whole experience.
Neat book idea, too. I hope our readers who are in a similar situation take a look at your book.

I too, found caregiving exhausting, frustrating, and challenging–and like you, I also found that just hanging out with my mom was…comforting. Caregiving taught meso much about myself, my mother, my daughters–about life, love, and quiet strength.

I wrote every day the last three years of my mom’s life–as I shared my home and heart with her–(she had Alzheimer’s and Parknson’s). I wanted to capture “us” just as we were–squabbles, tears, laughter and all.

I have excerpts from my book, Mothering Mother on my website–
