Caring for your Parent, Yourself

Stepping into the role of a caregiver for an elderly parent is one of the most life-changing journeys one can take. It is filled with love, responsibility, fear, and resilience, as well as fatigue, sadness, hard work, and often the caregiver forgetting or not prioritizing taking care of themselves. This book is written caregiver-to-caregiver-practical, honest, and grounded in what it actually feels like to walk this path and to offer tips and wisdom to caregive with love and self-care with love. Both of which are important. Written by a caregiver of a parent who had vascular dementia, this book focuses on the intersection of activation as a caregiver and self-care as a caregiver, because self-care while caregiving isn't an indulgence --- IT IS ESSENTIAL!
