Caregiver Support,
By MenoMarti (Central Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Taking Care of Caregivers: For Families and Others Who Care for People with Alzheimer's Disease and Other Forms of Dementia (Paperback)
This was an invaluable resource when I was my mother's primary caregiver.
It supplies ways to care for ourselves and reminds us that it isn't being selfish to take time to recharge and care for ourselves. It's amazing how much more patience I had after doing something for myself.
