The Long Goodbye — The Honest Truth About Caring for an Aging Parent
Product Details
The Long Goodbye: The Honest Truth About Caring for an Aging Parent
You do not become a carer on a particular day. You look up one afternoon and realise you already are one.
Caring for a parent is grief that arrives in instalments, alongside logistics, siblings who see it differently, and a role reversal nobody rehearses. This book is honest about the exhaustion and the resentment and the guilt that follows both, about mourning someone who is still here, and about the fact that looking after yourself is not a betrayal.
Inside this book
- Why you become a carer without ever deciding to
- Grief that arrives in instalments while the person is still here

- Why looking after yourself is not a betrayal
Part of The Honest Truth — books about the parts of life nobody prepares you for, written without relentless positivity. Every book stands entirely on its own.
A note: This book is offered for general interest and reflection. It is not medical, care, legal or financial advice. Caring is heavy work — If you are struggling, please reach out to someone qualified to help.
