As our older generations live longer, more and more adult women find themselves in caregiving roles for their mothers as well as their mothers-in-law. What a wonderful opportunity to return on our parents investments in our own lives! While this reversal of roles is a precious privilege, it can often be an overwhelming challenge. Daughters who desire to follow the biblical command to honor thy father and mother must do so while juggling responsibilities to husband, children, work, church, and self. Raising Moms helps daughters to cope with the daily challenges of their role as caregiver and to rejoice in the lifelong blessings of the ones they are caring for. Packed with practical tips, generational information, and help with emotional realities, this book will help women and their mothers to find blessing in the later years.

In the 1980s, as the proportion of elderly people in the population grew steadily larger, the task of looking after them would fall increasingly on one group – daughters. The government, in promoting its move in social policy towards community care, had stated that ‘the family’ – which in practice meant women – must expect to provide the bulk of care in the future. But how do women feel about this? What impact does caring for others have on their own lives? How might professional helpers better support them? Originally published in 1988, from in-depth interviews with daughters who have looked after their mothers for varying numbers of years, Jane Lewis and Barbara Meredith look at why it is that women come to care, and consider the legacy of their caring experiences. Because caring is usually a labour of love, the feelings that surround it are complicated and fraught with ambivalence. In analysing these Daughters Who Care explores the meaning of caring from the carer’s point of view, as well as examining the implications for professionals seeking to ‘support the supporters’. Carers themselves and those working with them professionally or as volunteers, as well as students of community care, social policies for the elderly, and social psychology will all find this a stimulating approach to what is still an increasingly urgent issue.

Women in the Middlewas so-named because daughters, who are the main caregivers to elderly disabled parents, most often in their middle years, are caught in the middle of multiple competing demands on their time and energy. Since the first edition, women's responsibilities and the pressures they have experienced have increased and intensified. Dr. Brody revisits this phenomenon in this new, updated edition of her ground-breaking work. Women in the Middle, 2/e, describes and discusses the caregiving women's subjective feelings, experiences, and problems, and the effects on their mental and physical well-being, life styles, family relationships, and vocational activities. These case studies and narratives present an insider's view of the harsh and sometimes joyful experience of caregiving. Special attention is given to the changing face of social, economic, and environmental conditions, as well as the diversity of the caregiver, in which caregiving, in which caregiving takes place.

A poignant memoir about a daughter’s life changing journey as her mother’s caregiver and the many challenges of caring for a chronically ill parent. Pat’s relationship with her mother, Anne, changed drastically when she moved in with Pat and her husband after being diagnosed with end stage COPD. Anne’s husband passed away the year before and she could no longer live alone. Pat juggled working full time as a medical professional, with the daily demands of caregiving and her mother’s deteriorating health. Being the oldest of four with two hearing impaired siblings, her experience with caregiving started early. Her chosen career was in service to others as a registered nurse. Becoming her mother's caregiver seemed to be the next step. However, the daily demands of being a caregiver altered the relationship between mother and daughter, and Pat questioned everything she thought she knew about her mother and herself. Was this supposed to happen? Why can’t I do this without feeling frustrated, angry, and guilty? Where do these emotions come from? And why is my mother drinking? Love Anyway is a story that is heartbreaking, humorous, memorable, and relatable to mothers and daughters everywhere. You will laugh and cry. You will laugh at the bottle of gin hidden in the pillowcase in the closet, the accidental shoplifting of jewelry and a watch, and the bra fitting fiasco in the fitting room. You will cry when Anne goes home to God and when her companion dog, Bandit, follows her. After reading this book, caregivers everywhere, will share the same emotions, doubts, and fears, and daughters everywhere will be asking the same questions when taking care of their mother. The mother daughter relationship is tested over and over and leads to finding forgiveness, fortitude, understanding, and especially love.

Although caregiving is predominantly women's work, care for the elderly is largely absent from the feminist agenda in this country. Emily K. Abel presents a compelling and sensitive report that describes the experience of caregiving from the perspective of adult daughters. She places their stories in the context of an analysis of existing policies and services for the elderly and traces the history of family caregiving in the U.S. since 1800. Through in-depth, open-ended interviews with 51 women who were caring for one or both parents, Abel explores how caregivers themselves understand their endeavors. Poignant excerpts from these interviews reveal the overwhelming sense of responsibility that these women feel for their parents' lives, how they protect their parents' dignity, and the isolation and lack of support that is faced in these homecare situations. While policy analysts speak of "filial responsibility," Abel allows the adult daughters to interpret its meaning in heart-rending detail. In her examination of how public policies affect the nature of caregiving at home, Abel argues that the amount of care women deliver to elderly relatives is determined not only by demographic trends but by the inadequacies of the long-term care system in the U.S. Author note: Emily K. Abel is Adjunct Associate Professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles. She has published several books and is co-editor (with Margaret K. Nelson) of Circles of Care: Work and Identity in Women's Lives.

Caring for their mothers at the end of their lives and grieving for them after their deaths brought them together. Seven women from diverse racial, cultural, and religious traditions with differing sexual orientations and life experiences became seven “sisters in mourning,” meeting to share their grief and to remember together—not only their mothers but themselves as daughters. This book is a rich compilation of narratives that emerged through vulnerable conversations—a spiritual, emotional, and existential exploration of the complexities of caring and grieving. As their grief transformed over time, and their friendship deepened, their understanding of who their mothers were and the nuances of their relationships with them continued to evolve. Sisters in Mourning invites readers to a journey of healing and insight. With contributions from: Barbara Breitman Cari Jackson Linda Jaramillo Laura O'Loughlin Kathleen T. Talvacchia
