I really enjoyed and related to this one. As someone that had been a long time caregiver for my father up until his recent passing I could relate so much to Shauns story and the different challenges he faces.
Shaun is determined to put the past behind him. No longer brooding on his divorce, and with his two daughters grown up, he is making a fresh start in a new country. And hoping to find love one more time. Until the sudden death of his father changes everything.

With his mother in a care home, Shaun knows he has to make a choice: leave his mother there, or give up his new-found freedom to look after her himself in the home she once shared with his father.

Love and Care charts his first year caring for his mother who has Parkinson's dementia; a woman he loves deeply but realises he hardly knows as he tries to connect with her through music, food and everyday joys. Can he face the challenges and prove the doubters wrong? And what will the decision mean for his chances of finding love?
It so hard trying to live your own life while caring full time for someone else and it really hit home on the different issues he faced while caring for his mother. Very touching and Definitely made me shed some tears.

heart warming memoir of the author caring for his mother who has dementia and a journey of their shared experiences

Love and Care by Shaun Deeney
Books such as this are not ones you read for ' enjoyment ' but more so to share in the life experience of another human.
Shaun was about to embark on a new chapter in his life when his father died and his mother, already in a care home had additional needs.
Such an honest account of caring for a parent who is coming to the end of their life . It is something you never really expect to do , and when you do it , you realise it is one of the hardest jobs in the world, especially if you are living with them 24/7.
This book shows the love that Shaun had for his mother , he writes of the bone aching tiredness , yet the humour that can be found on the darkest of days.
