Still Here, Someone New

Grieving the living. Loving them anyway.

A CAREGIVER'S BLOG

Welcome

"My dad is sitting in the next room right now. He's watching TV too loud, he's cold, and he's about to tell me a story I've already heard three times today. He is here. And he is not entirely the man I grew up knowing. If you're loving someone through that — you are in the right place." — Tanya
