Every Post, He Writes the Book

My mother, Jean Barer, was seriously ill from the early '70's until she passed away in January 1997. On his blog, my father has begun to post reminisces of some of her harrowing experiences with the medical profession. He describes these as, essentially, the book Mom always intended to write but never did.

The first post was painful for me to read; and I suspect that the future ones will be too. But I will read them. They are not only crucial pieces of my families past; they are a plea for medical care that does not punish the spirit as it heals the body.
