It begins with a phone call, a hospital visit, a quiet “I need help.” Suddenly, you’re holding up someone else’s world and your own is quietly rearranged.

This is a deeply personal memoir about what it means to care for aging parents and loved ones. Told with clarity, grace, and fierce compassion, it honors the emotional labor of caregiving: the exhaustion, the intimacy, the quiet acts of love that often go unseen.

It’s not sentimental. It’s real. A story for anyone who’s been the strong one in the room, and needs to feel less alone in it.
