The Caregiver's Survival Guide for Family Members: Revised

The Family Caregiver's Survival Guide is an essential reference book for anyone undertaking the long-term care of a loved one. For over twenty years the author has been engaged in the day to day care of four separate and distinct family members, and in his attempt to help others in similar situations, this book is the result. It is not all sweetness and light in its telling, and deals frankly with the type of realities few will discuss. Even if you believe that God granted you the gift of becoming a caregiver, that doesn't mean that you will either enjoy every minute of the job or just naturally know how to be one. The first book describes a detailed personal journey for the author through the myriad day to day to week to year to..., activities involved in such care, along with tips and tidbits on how to both accomplish this sometimes rewarding, sometimes not, job, and how to stay sane in the process. As is true for all, while his experiences are often unique to his caregiving situation, many of them also share a great deal of commonality for all to benefit from. The second book concerns a state by state reference section on anything and everything available to the family caregiving situation. Organized under individual state headings, this section is an invaluable treasure trove of what might be found in the reader's state and sometimes municipality to assist both the caregiver and care-given in their long and healthy mutual lifestyles.
