In 2020, my mother fell. I moved in with her then, and became her caregiver. For four years, I watched over her; four years of my life given for the end of hers, in love and dedication and remembrance, even when she couldn't remember. Let's pretend it was easy, even when I had almost nothing left in me to give. LET'S PRETEND CAREGIVING IS EASY is a book of poetry and story dedicated to those of us who have given care to our loved ones, and lost themselves to it, and struggled to find what's left.
