Our Story- Claire O’Berry

For six years, I was the primary carer for both my parents. I left a fulfilling, non-profit management job in California to move back home to Texas.

My mother had Alzheimer's & my father suffered from Parkinson, COPD & prostate cancer, I often wondered what was worse, I guess that is a matter of perspective depending on the circumstances.

Over those six years, I had gone from Eldercare 101 to a PhD in death & dying, like most I was in no way prepared for this journey. I was tested & challenged in so many ways, and I was on a steep & dramatic learning curve through the maze of medical, legal, financial. Government, emotional & practical details all needing my attention.

I wanted my parents to pass humanely & peacefully & if I had to do it all over again, I would. I saw with my own eyes that death is unique to each person, manageable with proper guidance & also uplifting in so many ways.
