One Hundred Seventy Days: A Caregiver's journey through love, loss and a parent's final days (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781532374357)

When a loved one becomes critically ill, the world focuses on the patient.

Doctors monitor their condition.

Family members ask about their progress.

Friends offer prayers and encouragement.

But almost no one asks the caregiver how they are holding up.

When Pete Nunweiler's mother contracted a devastating flesh-eating bacterial infection in 2015, his life changed overnight. What followed were one hundred seventy days spent navigating hospital rooms, long nights, difficult decisions, and the quiet emotional weight of watching someone you love slowly slip away.

This deeply personal memoir tells the story of those final months - not only through the eyes of a son, but through the experience of a caregiver learning how to endure the impossible.

Through moments of hope, exhaustion, humor, fear, and heartbreak, Pete shares the reality many caregivers face but few people truly understand.

One Hundred Seventy Days is a story about:

- the hidden emotional toll of caregiving

- the bond between parent and child

- the strength it takes to show up every day

- the quiet courage required to say goodbye

For anyone who has cared for a loved one through illness, or who has struggled through the final chapter of a parent's life, this story offers something powerful:

You are not alone.
