Fragile Resonance - Paperback Book - Caring for Older Family Members in Japan and England - by Jason Danely - 9781501765810 - Cornell University Press

Dimensions: 22.7cm x 15.3cm x 2.0cm - Fragile Resonance describes the paths carers take as they make meaning of their experiences and find a sense of moral purpose to sustain them and guide their decisions. When a parent or partner becomes frail or disabled, often a family member assumes responsibility for their care. But family care is a physically and emotionally exhausting undertaking. Carers experience moments of profound connection as well as pain and grief. Carers ask themselves questions about the meaning of family, their entitlement to support, and their capacity to understand and sympathize with another person's pain.
