Excellent read for adult caregivers of their parents! Nov 27, 2005
By Arnold G. Tijerina III
When Our Parents Become Our Children documents the trials and tribulations of a couple who had parents and siblings on both sides of the family die. The common factor is that Mr. and Mrs. Thacker became caregivers for all these family members at some point, sometimes briefly and sometimes longer. This "memoir" seeks to share with readers the range of emotions that a person goes through when their parents become incapacitated to the extent that they need assistance with everyday living.
I found that the message contained within the story was artfully placed and didn't overpower the story itself. This is a story straight from the heart and with genuine value to a person in this situation or about to be in this situation. It will help prepare the reader for the trials ahead which could help them mentally accept the situation and better make decisions for their parents.
Mr. Thacker put his all into this book. Though the book is filled with sadness and despair through the deaths of all the family members involved, I'm sure it provided closure for him and helped him cope better with his losses. A beautiful tribute to his and his wife's parents that can be read by his descendants to help them achieve a closer relationship and more respect for the fallen family members. If nothing else, it will serve a purpose to him, his current family and future family.
Hopefully, it will assist some people in the same situation to be better prepared and informed for their parents becoming their children.
