Hannah Bottigheimer writes about the unseen architecture of family life—the invisible labor of care, the cost of devotion, and the fragile endurance of love through rupture and repair.
Her forthcoming memoir, The Last Child, follows a mother’s journey through her daughter’s psychiatric crisis and the reverberations across a blended family of seven. The first chapter appeared in Chicago Story Press.
When the crisis doesn’t end, what comes next?
A conversation on caregiving, uncertainty, and building a livable life.
