Sometimes life surprises us and we find ourselves in unexpected situations like a loved one receiving a difficult medical diagnosis, an unforeseen accident, or an aging loved one needing help. In all of these instances, someone needs care and someone else becomes the caregiver. Enrich Your Caregiving Journey was written to provide emotional and practical help for caregivers in their daily challenges of taking care of others as well as themselves. Margery Pabst and Rita Goldhammer bring you the stories of three families and the issues the families and caregivers face when the unexpected happens and they wonder if their lives will ever be normal again. Enrich Your Caregiving Journey focuses on the caregiver, while other books focus on the one needing care. Pabst and Goldhammer realize that people always want to know how the patient is doing, and few stop to think about the caregiver. However, if the caregiver doesn t pay attention to personal well-being, the quality of caring for the loved one suffers. This book makes a great gift to you if you re a current caregiver, or to someone you know who is taking care of someone else. It offers practical tips on how to be effective in the both the role of taking care of others and the role of taking care of self. Caregiving is a journey and this book helps the caregiver to stay on track. - from Amzon
