The House

The rooms of the house

Nothing in this house needs anything from you.

Seven doors. Open any of them, in any order, and leave whenever you want.

• The Back Porch

  Out on the back porch you can say the thing. Resentment, anger, and grieving somebody who is still here, for family caregivers.

• Your Room

  Rest is not the reward for finishing the care. Real ways for a family caregiver to sleep, keep a life, and hold a boundary without guilt.

• Mama's Room

  Music she loved at nineteen, sundowning, keeping her dressed like herself, anticipatory grief and what hospice really is. In plain words.

• The Kitchen

  Medication safety, the three documents that change everything, insurance appeals, scripts for siblings, and the numbers nobody gives you.

• The Quiet Room

  Spiraling, angry, crying, awake at 3am. Pick what it is and Sage stays with you for a minute. For family caregivers.
