Becoming Brave Together: Heroic, Extraordinary Caregiving Stories from Mothers Hidden in Plain Sight

Meet the exhausted group of caregiving mothers who offer extraordinary care to a child with disabilities or unique needs. These unsung heroes, who walk invisibly among us, dedicate time, energy, love, and their entire lives to help their loved one who is unable to help themselves. A child with a rare degenerative disease. A sibling with autism. A teen wading through anxiety and depression. An adult child with a debilitating illness. A child with extreme ADHD. The single common light in the darkness of their life’s journey is often their mother, she is the one person who holds the fragile balance all together. But who holds her all together? Becoming Brave Together gives a voice to mothers walking an altered parenting journey. Giving up is not a consideration. Many times, neither is a nap. These women provide unconditional, dedicated care every day (and, many times, every night) for their most vulnerable loved one. These extraordinary individuals press on with borrowed strength, living their own lives with an “always on” vigilance. These are the stories of moms who refuse to quit. The ones who love with a depth that can seem almost super-human to those looking in. The ones who are exhausted, disconnected, and often lonely as a result of their unbreakable love. Find encouragement, strength, and resolve through the stories of mothers who refuse to give up. Heart-wrenching, vulnerable, and joy-producing, their invisible journeys come into focus and the vision of their collective experiences shines brightly so ALL can see and be seen.
