If those who care for the ill and the infirm are to remain effective, they must confront the reality of stress and their obligation, both to themselves and their loved ones, to take the time to find ways of relieving these pressures. In "Taking Time for Me", Katherine L Karr's insightful observations and suggestions - enhanced by compelling personal accounts of real care providers who are struggling with their own needs while tending to the needs of others - demonstrate that caregivers can overcome their personal conflicts and develop innovative ways of renewing their strength without jeopardizing the well-being of those who depend on them. From exercise regimens and support groups to recognizing the humor in everyday situations, this book can revitalize caregivers for the challenges ahead.

This review is from: Taking Time for Me (Golden Age Books) (Paperback)
Your book has inspired me to stop feeling so overwelmed and helpless. I am getting busy and starting a support group, based on your book ,in our community. I hope to share your knowledge and compasion to the many isolated caregivers in our area of Utah. I already have the support of much of my community. Thank you for your precious gift.
