Mothering Mother: A Daughter's Humorous and Heartbreaking Memoir

Author: Carol D ODell

Compelling, heartrending, brutally honest, and funny by turns, this personal memoir chronicles the author's decision not to put her mother—who has Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease—in "one of those homes" and relays the far-reaching consequences this choice has on her entire family. This refreshing and entertaining account, written in real time during the last three years of her mother's life, will help those struggling with their own decisions regarding elder care and end of life decisions. Touching on the importance of relationships—how they impact personal belief systems and attitudes about quality of life—this authentic and timely narrative explores the larger questions of faith, hope, and ultimately, death.

Armchair Interviews

Carol O'Dell is my new hero. . . . Told in vignettes instead of a linear fashion, O'Dell tells in brutal honesty the horrors and pleasures of exactly what one shoulders when saying, 'Come live with us; I'll take care of you.'
