Parental Caregiver - Houston, Texas

2002 to 2005

I spent this majority of this period seeing my father through ongoing

terminal cancer treatments, while emotionally and financially preparing him

and my mother for the inevitable conclusion. I took my father to every

doctor's appointment and every treatment. It disrupted my career, but was

something I had to, and wanted to do. Anyone who has gone through similar

stress with ageing parents understands what this demanded in time and

attention. My father passed away in mid 2005 and I returned to work.
