### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Courageous, Well-Written, and Achingly Real
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2008*

All of us at some point in our lives will need to confront the issues written about in this eloquent collection -- whether it's our parents, our spouses, our siblings, our friends, or even ourselves. The writers here tackle the subject with intimacy, poignancy, grace...and a great amount of courage.There are stand-outs for me in this collection:  the writer Helen Schulman asking her father, "We all love you, we still have fun together, we still can enjoy one another, does any of that help at all?"  Her father's reply: "No, you and your love don't help me."  As a daughter myself trying to tackle my mother's depression after my father's death, this line really resonated.Then there's Eleanor Cooney's remarkable essay, "Death in Slow Motion", about her mother's descend into Altzheimer's disease and the toll it takes on her -- unflinchingly real, not at all flowery, straightforward and raw. Or Ann Hood's essay "In The Land of Little Girls", about the death of her five-year-old daughter...which broke my heart by the courage it took to go back to those emotions and write it so perfectly.  And Amanda Fortini's "The Vital Role" about her own debilitating tropical illness and her symbiotic relationship with her caregiver: "a story that arose from a perfect confluence of needs: one person's desperate need to be cared for and another's equally urgent need to care."I could go on and on about these gems, all focusing on the most elemental of needs -- connection, intimacy, loss, courage.  This is an important book, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

    Well Worth Reading
  

*by L***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 27, 2021*

As a full-time caretaker, I could identify with many of these stories, and all of the stories were worth reading.  I read it in just a few sittings.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Profound or profane?
  

*by L***  on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2010*

I was really looking for a book about caregiver's experiences to donate to a non-profit agency that will be offering support and other services to family and professional caregivers.  There are a range of different issues of care giving offered in this book, each presented by an author who has experienced the issue personally.  Though excellent in theme, I find it hard to get past the profanity--specifically the "F" word--used in a few of the accounts.  Use of it did not add any credibility to their tales, and in fact, it detracted from them.  I place partial blame on the editor for not removing it.  For people who are supposedly writers/authors who submitted these stories, you would think that they would have better literary ways of expressing themselves.  Needless to say, I would be embarrassed to donate this book as I had originally intended.  I surely will not now.
