A book about losing one's parent, caring for a family member with Alzheimers and living through the early days of the pandemic. Each of those topics by its self would be unsettling enough to put one into therapy for a long time. They are not topics that are easily discussed by or with anyone. There are only a few people that I have opened up to myself, since unless they have lived through the same devastation they are unable to relate and give me the support I very much need. I am grateful that the author of this book, Marsha Grey Hill recognized the importance of opening up and discussing the journey she walked through with her mother. She spoke of the support she got from her family and friends. From the very beginning ot the book I felt like I was talking to a long time friend. The author was totally open about her feelings of guilt, helplessness and relief. I hope I can walk through the end of my mother's jouney the same way. I feel like I've learned a lot that I will be reminding myself of frequently in the days/weeks/ months ahead.
