A devoted daughter cares for her critically ill mother in Tomato Juice: A Tribute to My Mom by Diane Hamilton
FILER, IDAHO –In this inspiring month-by-month account of her mother’s struggle with ALS Progressive Bulbar Palsy, Diane Hamilton guides caregivers and patients with tips, moving anecdotes, love and laughter
What do you do when the person who raised and cared for you becomes ill herself? For author Diane Hamilton, that moment happens when her beloved mother, Marie, becomes critically ill with ALS Progressive Bulbar Palsy. Hamilton leaves her job and becomes her mother’s primary caregiver.
But caring for an ALS patient isn’t easy. There are no books to help her, and so she and her mother begin their journey together, with trial and error efforts and the support of a loving family. In a moving month-by-month diary, Hamilton invites you into her life as a caregiver, showing you how illness brings her and her mother even closer together, and how, even in the midst of sorrow, love always survives. As her mother becomes more ill, losing her ability to talk and to swallow, Hamilton discovers other ways to communicate and learns how tomato juice is the one thing her mother can drink.
Life and celebrations still go on, and Hamilton’s daughter gives birth. Hamilton learns to do things her mother’s way and gives readers helpful tips on coping, nutrition, and how love and joy are always the best medicine. This is a moving and important book, and an essential read for anyone who is a caregiver or a patient.
