Juggling a full-time job while caring for an ageing parent is not a sign that you are failing — it is a sign that you are trying to do two huge things at once. This practical guide does not ask you to choose between your career and your parent. Instead, it shows you how to navigate both without burning out or hiding the truth. You will learn how to talk to your employer before a crisis, build a reliable care team around work hours, and use straightforward scheduling and technology tools that respect your time. The book tackles the emotional side honestly — guilt, exhaustion, and the fear of falling behind — while giving you concrete scripts for tough conversations at home and in the office. Whether you are facing a sudden hospital stay or the slow grind of progressive illness, the same structure applies: stay employed, stay present, stay sane. Part of The Caring for a Parent Library.
