In Caring for Mother, Virginia Stem Owens gives a clear and realistic account of caring for an elderly loved one. Along the way, Owens notes the spiritual challenges she encountered, not the least of which included fear of her own suffering and death. This book will be a helpful companion to those who have recently assumed the role of caregiver, helping them anticipate some of the emotional turbulence they will encounter along the way.

As Christianbook.com writes, “Caring for her mother as her health declined forced Owens to take a look at her own mortality, ‘Nothing had ever confronted so forcefully my faith that an ultimate graciousness dwelt at the heart of the world…’ This book will be a helpful companion to those who have recently become caregivers, as it will give some emotional clarity and empathy.”
