Description

When her vibrant, independent mother began to falter -- first with failed back surgery, then with memory lapses, dependence on oxygen, and eventually a diagnosis of the rare neurological disease Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) -- a daughter found herself at a crossroads.

Balancing a high-stakes career as a healthcare executive with the escalating needs of both her ailing mother and a stepfather with Alzheimer's, she made the life-altering decision to leave her profession and step into the role of caregiver.
This candid and deeply personal memoir follows the emotional, physical, and spiritual journey of caregiving during the most challenging years of a parent's life. From navigating a maze of medical specialists to moving her mother in during the early days of COVID and ultimately making the heart-wrenching transition to assisted living and hospice, The Long Fade to Morning is a story of resilience, reluctant heroism, and love in its most demanding form.

With honesty and grace, the author shares not only the unraveling of her mother's health but also the unraveling -- and eventual restoration -- of herself. Offering practical insights for caregivers and heartfelt reflections on grief, identity, and advocacy, this book is a beacon of hope for anyone facing the long, slow goodbye of a loved one.
