FROM THE PUBLISHER:
ALS, Alzheimer’s Disease, AIDS, cancer, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease. . .the list of terminal or debilitating illnesses goes on. The one thing that all of these diseases have in common is that almost every patient has a person who is acting as a primary caregiver. Long-term care means the caregiver is busy, overwhelmed and tired with very little opportunity to realize or reconcile the gradual losses that take place. This takes a toll on the caregiver, the family and the patient. Doug outlines the dangers and issues and gently provides opportunities for the caregiver to deal with the “quiet sorrows” that make this type of caregiving a difficult task.
