Caring for a parent, spouse, or relative who cannot care for themselves due to age, infirmity, or illness is one of the noblest human activities. It’s also one of the most stressful, posing challenges that can be painful, confusing, frustrating, and deeply rewarding - sometimes all at once. When Caregiving Calls is an invitation to a deep conversation about caregiving and its meaning for you.

I've never written a review before, but I had to for this book. The book was a life saver for me personally. I found this book after an especially upsetting morning taking care of my 83 year old Mother. Trying to work full time and taking care of my Mother when not at work has been extremely hard. Mother is recovering from a brain surgery she had July 2021. It wasn't cancer, but because of her age she's had several setbacks. Thankfully, my adult daughter was able to move back home to be Mother's caregiver so that I could go back to work.
I'm crying as I'm listening while I'm working. It was like the author was writing about my life taking care of my Mother. I was struggling with ALL THE EMOTIONS the author described in the book.
When I got home after listening to this book, I broke down crying telling my Mother that I was sorry for the anger I had felt towards her that morning.
This book has gave me a renewed sense of hope, definitely a better understanding of what my Mother is feeling being completely dependent on someone for everything. All the guilt, anger and impatience towards Mother was weighing me down so much so that I felt a terrible resentment towards her at times. I felt an incredible sense of calm after listening to this book.
My Mother is and has always been my best friend, I now have a better understanding and the knowledge to continue being Mother's caregiver, hopefully many years to come.
This is a must listen for anyone caring for a loved one. The author's calming voice is especially a pleasant surprise.
