Caregiving is no vacation, but you can cruise more smoothly through it! If you’re facing the daunting reality that you’re about to become a caregiver whether you planned for it or not, Cruising through Caregiving is the down-to-earth and authoritative answer you need.
Feeling overwhelmed and juggling multiple responsibilities on top of providing care to your loved one with cancer can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression. You might feel as if the weight of world is on your shoulders.
What starts as loving, compassionate care becomes an isolating, stressful, never-ending race to get everything done. Inevitably, anger and resentment creep in—toward the person being cared for as well as other family members who don’t pitch in...or both.
Designed to help caregivers understand how to cope with and overcome the overwhelming challenges that arise while caregiving for a loved one―especially an aging parent―Role Reversal is a comprehensive guide to navigating the enormous daily challenges faced by caregivers.
When it comes time to provide care for those who once cared for us, where can we turn? This book: • offers practical guidance for a broad range of caregiving situations when family caregivers assume their new role. • uses the latest research and draws on case histories and interviews.
Family care giving has its challenges: emotional overload, time constraints, anxiety, burnout, missed work, adult sibling conflicts, and marital issues.
The best ways to ask for help as a caregiver.
