But it gets worse. Like an unnaturally iridescent convalescent-home
maraschino cherry atop this Sisyphean slag heap of woe, what actually
appears to take the greatest toll on caregivers is the sheer emotional
burden of this (formless, thankless, seemingly endless) project. For
one thing, unresolved family dynamics will probably begin to play out:
"Every study I have seen on the subject of adult children as
caregivers finds the greatest source of stress, by far, to be not the
ailing parent but sibling disagreements,"
