She addresses how that contrasts with the future for many families who are lifelong caregivers. She discusses the feeling of guilt many people face for wishing for a different script and why honesty can lead to understanding. Debra highlights what lifelong caregivers gain and argues that, while there may be no second act of the empty nest, a life of choosing to stay is equally rewarding.
