Leseproben

This book is a must read for any helping professional who assists clients who are caring for a sick and infirmed loved one. It is also a must read for any individual who values applicability of lessons learned from others who have faced caregiving responsibilities for elderly and infirm relatives and friends and the opportunities they will present for living a fuller life through assisting a debilitated loved one live a fuller life. Through the recording of their stories, the tellers impart valuable solace to caregivers. This book will go a long way in moving professional helpers closer to understanding the dynamics of caregiving.
