Who Looks After You?
A life for the person everyone else depends on
This research draft speaks to people balancing an aging parent, a child, a partner, a job, or several responsibilities at once. It makes caregiving's practical and emotional workload visible, then explores ways to distribute tasks, request concrete help, preserve relationships, and prepare for handovers. Rather than assuming better organization solves inadequate support, it examines the limits of individual capacity and the importance of shared plans, respite, and recognition.

The idea behind the book +
The National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP's 2025 research documents the substantial time and complexity involved in family care, including people supporting both adults and children. It gives concrete evidence for treating caregivers' capacity as a shared concern.
