My mom has become so forgetful that I'm afraid for her safety. How do I intervene?"
"I want to care for my husband at home, but I can't quit my job. Where can I go for help?"
"I've heard of people having to 'spend down' their life savings to qualify for Medicaid. What can my parents do to protect their assets?"
Questions like these are part and parcel of the caregiving experience. Finding answers hasn't been easy. That is, until now.
And Thou Shalt Honor: The Caregiver's Companion examines all the issues that matter most to caregivers. Whether you're organizing a loved one's financial affairs, or shopping around for home care services, or contemplating a person's long-term care for the first time, you can find the guidance and support you need right here.
Of course, some issues can be complicated or sensitive, like advising a parent to obtain a living will or persuading a relative to assist with a loved one's care. And Thou Shalt Honor: The Caregiver's Companion helps tackle these, too, by providing specific strategies to steer through the most challenging of caregiving situations.
In fact, every chapter offers a wealth of information and advice to ease and enrich the caregiving role. You'll even find tips on caring for the caregiver--because, after all, if you don't look after yourself, how can you look after someone else?
Beyond all the practical solutions to real-world caregiving concerns, this book provides a welcome sense of community with others who are caregivers, whether by choice or by necessity. You'll hear from people just like you, in situations just like yours. You'll appreciate the candor of their stories and draw strength from their words.
Caregiving, after all, may be the most universal of life experiences. It crosses all world cultures and touches all ethnic groups and economic classes. As a caregiver, you're carrying on a centuries-old tradition--one rooted in love, respect, and above all, honor. With And Thou Shalt Honor: The Caregiver's Companion, you'll have the tools and resources that empower you to truly embrace the caregiving role.
"One of my colleagues once said: There are only four kinds of people in the world--those who have been caregivers, those who currently are caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers." --Rosalynn Carter
