About this book
Who Is a Caregiver?
A caregiver is anyone who is called upon to care for the needs of another. It might be as little as calling your dad a couple of times a week to make sure he is ok, or bringing meals to someone and taking them to doctors appointments. Then there are the full-time caregivers who have dedicated their lives to the complete care of another. This book is dedicated to all who care enough to do tangible things, helping someone who needs you.
It is estimated that nearly one in five Americans is involved in caregiving at some level, and the number is rising rapidly. Sadly, studies also show that the general health and wellbeing of caregivers has declined and as our population ages, the need for more caregivers will increase.
Providing care for a family member or friend can be rewarding and provide a real sense of purpose, but also poses challenges for the caregiver. There are many resources available that seek to educate and empower caregivers about how to perform caregiving tasks, but I have noted there is a huge need for caregivers to be encouraged, blessed, and given hope!
In this book, I share true stories of my life as a caregiver. It is so important to know that you are not alone! The feelings and challenges you are experiencing are hard for even your closest family and friends to truly understand, but you'll see in these stories that you can truly have joy in the midst of your difficulty. I pray that my book will provide encouragement, joy and hope!
