Summary:
"A stirring memoir of a daughter caring for a
mother
with dementia. Explores the emotional rewards and challenges that Cathie Borrie experienced in caring for her
mother
, who was living with Alzheimer's disease, for seven years. Between the two, a wondrously poetic dialogue develops, which Ms. Borrie further illuminates with childhood memories of her family, and her struggle to maintain a life outside her caregiving responsibilities. Demonstrates how caregiving creates an opportunity to experience the change in a relationship that illness necessitates, one in which joy, meaning, and profound intimacy can flourish. Written in spare, beautiful prose, largely in the form of a dialogue, this memoir exquisitely captures the intricacies and nuances of a daughter's relationship with her
mother
. Cathie Borrie trained as a nurse in Vancouver and holds a Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins University. She lives in Vancouver"--Provided by publisher.
