Navigating Life, Death & Dying

Sharing my reflections as I care for my mum who's living with the impact of memory loss and cognitive changes. I stepped out of social work late 2018. We're both in unknown territory.

This impoverishes human responses to overwhelming emotional distress: ignoring systemic injustices.
