The Reluctant Carer : dispatches from the edge of life
Reluctant Carer2022
Books, Manuscripts
It begins with a phone call, the kind we all fear. Your 87-year-old father has been admitted to hospital after a heart attack, leaving your 89-year-old mother at home alone. So you pack a small bag and go home to help. But then your life collapses as quickly as your parents' health. You find yourself marooned in the overheated house you grew up in, washing, feeding and fighting with the people who raised you. There are days that test the very fabric of your sanity. And then there are days where the worst thing that ever happened to you somehow brings out the best in everyone.
