Dan Marshall tells about the year in his twenties when he moved home to care for his parents as they were both struggling with life-threatening illnesses—his mom with cancer and his dad with ALS. It will be way too crass and caustic for most people, but for the right audience going through a similar crisis, it could be a lifesaver. 

Home is Burning has shades of David Sedaris, Patton Oswalt, Sean Wilsey’s Oh the Glory of It All, and The Silver Linings Playbook.
