7-month résumé gap, advice? - 7 months and counting

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a paralegal. I worked as a paralegal before this. I am not sure how much to explain. What do you say in interviews?

Keep your skills fresh and mention anything recent. It shows momentum.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
