| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of caring for an elderly parent in the last year of her life. Using the historical research design, the author examined a journal kept during the time of the experience. The analysis revealed the recurrent themes of mother/daughter and patient/nurse relationships in the journal. These themes were then analysed to reflect the frequency and the alternating rhythms of interactions throughout the time the journal encompasses. The writing of this personal story of caregiving and its analysis documents a personal event that can be used by others to understand the caregiving experience. | |
