As we reach the end of week 10, I'd like to share some thoughts on this week's #CMOPBookClub read: #TheCarer by #DeborahMoggach. The book touches on issues common to all families, all over the world - how, as a family, we deal with the increasing dependence of a loved one...
It's not a new story - family pat/matriach has a health crisis and becomes increasingly dependent, eventually requiring live-in care. But this doesn't make it uninteresting. Quite the opposite...
Moggach tunes into real emotions and paints such a vivid picture that made me wonder if she was actually writing about my grannie... Uncomfortable, yes. But so, so important to help families 'express the previously unexpressed', as my mum put it. Thoughts anyone? 🤔📚
