This was certainly Kathleen’s experience. She first cared for her mother, who had cancer, and later for her husband, who suffered from chronic depression and eventually Alzheimer’s disease.
Tā tas bija, piemēram, ar Ketlīnu, kas vispirms aprūpēja savu ar vēzi slimo māti, bet pēc tam — vīru, kuram bija hroniska depresija un vēlāk arī Alcheimera slimība.
