Book Cover & Preview Text
There are different phases of caregiving. The first phase of loss occurs when the roles change, and you must change to accept the new role of caregiver that life has suddenly given you. You suffer a loss of innocence. The roles of responsibility change; you are now the decision maker about issues of well-being for those who previously made decisions for you. If you have not grown up by then, you certainly will during the caregiving process. Don't be surprised if you start seeing your own mortality more clearly too. You will start thinking about your own old age and wonder who will take care of you during your process of aging or failing health. But there is hope and you can survive!

About the Book
Caregiving: A Daughter's Story tells the story of a Daughter who experienced the surprise, joys and pain of watching loved ones become ill and eventually die. Suddenly she became the decision maker for those who once made decisions for her. When did the roles change from carefree child to adult caregiver for the loving parents who raised her? How did she cope and survive the process? Learn how an average person, like you, learned to make healthcare and other professionals LISTEN and work with her (and not dictate to her) to make decisions on behalf of loved ones. Read the story of an ordinary person coping with the stresses and joys of caregiving for loved ones, how to survive through the caregiving process, and how to say "NO" to others when caregiving is over.
