Reflections of a Daughter as the Caregiver of Her Mother

  • L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library, Riverview Room 400 Eau Claire Street Eau Claire, WI, 54701 United States (map)

Savita Harjani

Co-sponsored by the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library.

Harjani will share her deeply personal journey as a caregiver—a path that ultimately led to the creation of her powerful book, Postcards from Within: Random Ramblings of an Ordinary Human. Reflecting on the emotional, practical, and spiritual lessons learned through caregiving, Harjani will reveal how the experience shaped her perspective and her writing.

Through stories both personal and universal, she will explore the idea that caregiving is not just a role, but a shared human experience—one that touches all of us in different ways. Whether you're a current caregiver, have been one, or anticipate taking on that role in the future, this event offers a meaningful opportunity to connect, reflect, and be inspired.
