Abstract
This autoethnographic account employs Continuity Theory to examine my experience caregiving for my grandmother in the last year of her life. Little is known about grandchildren as caregivers. I use the routine of walking at the beach with my grandmother to frame my caregiving journey. Our walks implicitly reflect a desire and drive for continuity in the context of profound change. I explicitly discuss internal and external continuity across various contexts and situations throughout my year as a caregiver.
