Much of the research on parent caregivers examines only the physical or emotional state of the caregiver, reporting such problems as depression, stress, and poor health. Some more recent studies from the nursing and ethics literature, done mostly with families of children who are living at home and dependent on medical technology, also begin to uncover ethical concerns. This chapter outlines the tasks involved in extreme caregiving, dealing with the most well-researched ones: the physical and financial burdens of care, social isolation, and the need to maintain positivity and advocate for the child’s inclusion. Correlating existing studies with statements made by parents in narrative form, it becomes clear that issues raised by researchers are mirrored by parents. In addition, parent narratives reveal deeper concerns that researchers have not uncovered and begin to offer some explanation behind the problems that have been reported.
