ABOUT THE BOOK:

Do you have a family member who requires constant care? You are not alone. This collection offers support and encouragement in its 101 stories for family caregivers of all ages, including the “sandwich” generation caring for a family member while raising their children. With stories by those on the receiving end of the care too. These stories of love, sacrifice, and lessons will inspire and uplift family members making sacrifices to make sure their loved ones are well cared for, whether in their own homes or elsewhere.

MY THOUGHTS:

While I am not a caregiver I did appreciate how supportive this book can be.  My aunt was a caregiver for my great grandma for about ten years and I know it was hard for her, as she really was alone in it.  I am sure I will even end up as a caregiver for someone in my family as I am the oldest of five and close to my family (and my husband’s.)  This book is not just a book of stories but really a book to give encouragement, emotional support and guidance.  It would be a great gift for any caregiver!
