AS A CAREGIVER, YOU ARE A VERY SPECIAL PERSON
Caregiving is not usually part of anyone’s life plan. None of us choose to be in a situation where our family or friends need care.
What you did choose was to care for them. This is a generous and powerful choice.
The advice in this book comes from caregivers like you, as well as from physicians and other health professionals. This second edition has been completely updated and is supported by recent research studies.
As the authors of this book, we share the best in caregiving research as well as our professional expertise. We also share the valuable real-life information we have learned from working with thousands of people like you, as well the things we have learned in our own experiences as caregivers. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for both you and your care partner.
TOPICS INCLUDE:
• Dealing with stress and other emotions
• Managing difficult care partner behaviors
• Planning for the future
• Finding help and other resources
• Managing and improving your health as a caregiver as well as the health of your care partner(s)
• Improving communication skills with family and friends
• Planning and holding family meetings
• Communicating with health professionals and the health care system
• Action-planning, problem-solving, decision-making
We hope to provide the skills you need to take care of yourself and your care partner(s). The most important thing that these skills can give you is confidence to manage your life and reduce your stress.
