My father-in-law had no pension, and for twelve years I looked after him with everything I had. As he took his final breath, he pressed a torn pillow into my hands. When I opened it, I broke down in tears.
My name is Hannah. I became a daughter-in-law at 26, stepping into a family that had endured more hardships than anyone deserved. My mother-in-law had died young, leaving...
