Gail Sheehy Caregiving Book

I’m reading Gail Sheehy’s new book: Passages in Caregiving. It is very good. It may be the best book available on caregiving. It’s heavy on specific advice and true—brutally true—stories and very light on the platitudes. Nowhere in this book does she talk about putting on your own oxygen first. Bless you Gail Sheehy for knowing that the “oxygen in the plane” thing is a stupid metaphor. For most of us caregivers the plane has already crashed
