This resonates so deeply with me. For those of us in the position of watching a parent become a caregiver or care receiver, we look for paths forward. Even though we are "early days" here with my mom's condition, I do wonder how my dad manage as her caregiver. Thanks for this wonderful idea--one with meaning for all involved and a chance to honor relationships. Also, I'll pass along a favorite line/mantra I enjoy: "Onward and awkward!".
