“One of Spin Cycle’s most valuable contributions is the realization that we are not alone in dealing with conflicting emotions as we care for our aging parents. I wish I’d had Alfredo’s book twenty years ago, as I was totally unprepared for the emotional roller coaster of caring for my mother. Alfredo shares his wild emotional ride with other elder caregivers looking for support. Together they wrestle with feelings of anger, guilt, resentment, compassion, and hope. I cried, laughed, and related to Alfredo’s desire to do better by making internal promises to be more patient, kind and compassionate. Then confronting the harsh reality that keeping that promise is much harder than it looks! Alfredo reminds us: caregiving is a journey, not a destination. It’s not one day at a time. It’s one moment at a time.”
