In this chapter, the author tells about what she and her family experienced when she had to become the main caregiver of her parents when they became seriously ill. Her large family pitched in to assist as much as they could, and it was of enormous help that her employer afforded her both the opportunity to obtain the information and support she needed and the flexibility of schedule that allowed her to visit her parents’ home to care for them. That was a rarity at the time (during the 1990s), and things have improved since then; but there is still much room for improvement in terms of caregiver support and resources. |
