For couples carrying a parent’s care together

Most families never announce that caregiving has begun. A parent asks for a ride, a password, a call to the insurance company, and each request is reasonable. Then the requests connect, and a marriage is carrying work that nobody agreed to divide. I write for the couple in the middle of that, whichever side of the family the call comes from.

Her Mother, His Mother

A parent’s care enters the whole household. This book is written for the couple carrying it.

A father calls at dinnertime about a prescription. Minutes later the oven is off and his daughter has her coat on, and her husband is putting dinner in the refrigerator without saying what he thinks. Nobody has done anything wrong. The evening comes apart anyway.
