Welcome

Welcome! I’m so glad you found us.

When both of my parents were diagnosed with terminal illnesses on the same day, I felt unprepared and very much alone. As a working mother, I managed—but caring for my parents, and later my husband who was also diagnosed with a terminal illness, changed my life forever.

Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed too. Maybe you’re wondering how you’ll manage all the demands of caregiving, work, and family—and if anyone else understands what you’re going through.

You are not alone. Working Daughter is a community created just for you:

  • A place to find answers to your caregiving questions.
  • A place to connect with others who are walking the same path—balancing jobs, kids, and caregiving.
  • A safe, judgment-free zone where you can say what’s really on your mind—share, vent, cry, or simply be heard.

Caring for someone can be both a difficult and profound experience. But at Working Daughter we know that two things can be true at once. Caregiving might be your most challenging experience, and, your most rewarding. There will be moments you’ll wish for it to end; while also never wanting to let go of the person you love.

To be honest, there are aspects of caregiving that I can’t change  – aging and illness aren’t easy. But I can promise you this: strategies for experiencing caregiving in the most positive way possible including tools and tips to prepare and organize your caregiving responsibilities, compassion and community to support you on this path, actionable advice for balancing care with all of your other responsibilities.

There are lots of ways we can help:

You’ve got this!
