The family was
shocked when their mother was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis after
years of trying to get a diagnosis. Lannette, a wife, mother, and
school nurse, had many responsibilities, but with the support of her
husband and children, she decided it was more important to become her
mother’s caregiver at the end of her life.
Not everyone has the
desire or requisite skills to be a caregiver, but for Lannette and
her mother something magical happened. Childhood memories resurfaced,
experiences were shared, and Lannette took time to look at the world
through new eyes. This is a beautiful story told with great
sensitivity by the author.
This book is well written. The prose is simple and clear and doesn’t distract
from the story being told. If you have cared for a loved one, or may
be in the position to decide to take on that responsibility, I highly
recommend this book. Even if caring for someone seems years in the
future, you can learn a great deal from Lannette’s experience.
I received this book
from PR by the book for this review.
