Book excerpt: Caregivers have a front-row seat to suffering. Helping someone (most likely a close loved one) through disease, pain, frailty, and death exacts a tremendous toll. In the midst of caregiving, we often feel inadequate, fatigued, and overwhelmed with despair. The thought of reaching out for help does not occur to many caregivers, but we cannot go it alone-we need to find ways to connect with others. Self-care is also critical to our mental and physical health. Nell Noonan offers 150 honest and authentic devotions from her own experience. Think of these readings as God's embrace. They will encourage you and give you the strength to make it through another day. Understanding caregiving as a spiritual pilgrimage is important in caring for ourselves. "God is with us in the tears and the laughter, the brokenness and the holiness, the exhaustion and the whispers of resurrection," Noonan writes. When you pause daily to listen to your life, you will discover that God is there, and you are not alone.

Book excerpt: For more than seven years, Bobbi Carducci was the caregiver for her father-in-law, Rodger. She soon realized how unprepared she was for the task. But she was passionate, and still is. Now recognized as a speaker on caregiving issues, Bobbi strives to improve the lives of caregivers and the loved ones in their care by sharing caregivers' stories. It is estimated that one in three seniors will die with some form of dementia, and the numbers are expected to double in the next ten years. When family members are called upon to become caregivers, they often have only their good intentions to pilot them. Fatigue, grief, and anger soon overwhelm them. They feel alone. You Are Not Alone is an anthology of caregiver stories representing varying ages, genders, and family dynamics-all doing the hardest job they ever had to do. Each story is followed by an essay written by Bobbi, reflecting on personal experiences and her feelings while caring for her father-in-law, Rodger. A time when she felt very much alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A caregiver of someone with dementia may say, "Who has time to sit and read?" You don't need much time to read You Are Not Alone (even if you think you are), a short book of personal stories about the journey of dementia care. Many caregivers of those with dementia feel overwhelmed from the struggles they face with the burdens of caregiving. They can feel alone and isolated. However, if they have ever shared their situation with another caregiver, they will find a common bond, as they will in this book. You Are Not Alone (even if you think you are) shares with the reader stories of caregivers for those suffering from dementia. The book offers insight and advice to help people realize the struggles, treasured moments, humor, and care throughout the journey of dementia. We are living longer. Dementia care is growing. The Alzheimer's Association states: "In 2013, 15.5 million caregivers provided an estimated 17.7 billion hours of unpaid care. All caregivers of people with Alzheimer's - both women and men - face a devastating toll. Due to the physical and emotional burden of caregiving, Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers had $9.3 billion in additional health care costs of their own in 2013. Nearly 60 percent of Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers rate the emotional stress of caregiving as high or very high, and more than one-third report symptoms of depression." Know you are not alone in this journey, by reading this short book, You Are Not Alone (even if you think you are).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a sunny spring day, in an ordinary suburban kitchen, the phone rings. There’s been an accident. In one heartbeat, a family’s life is changed forever. After her husband, Hugh, is hit by a car while riding his bicycle, Rosemary Rawlins is plunged into twelve months of marathon caregiving, without the promise of a positive outcome. She works herself to the point of exhaustion to bring her grievously injured husband—who suffered a traumatic brain injury, necessitating the removal of half his skull—back home and back to himself. Then, as he slowly begins to reclaim his life, Rosemary falls apart. She can't sleep. Her heart pounds. Her joy and trust in the world dissolve into endless anxiety. She lays awake at night wondering how her marriage will survive. Will she ever be able to relate to Hugh again? What will become of their relationship? Their children? Do they recognize each other—literally—as the people they fell in love with and married decades ago? How can she let go of her fears? And what can she learn from them? Learning by Accident is a caregiver's story of ambiguous loss, family love, and emotional healing. This compelling personal account demonstrates with heart and humor that what we fear can be more debilitating than any physical injury. And that sometimes starting over is exactly what we need.

Book excerpt: The story of one woman’s struggle to care for her seriously ill husband—and a revealing look at the role unpaid family caregivers play in a society that fails to provide them with structural support. Already Toast shows how all-consuming caregiving can be, how difficult it is to find support, and how the social and literary narratives that have long locked women into providing emotional labor also keep them in unpaid caregiving roles. When Kate Washington and her husband, Brad, learned that he had cancer, they were a young couple: professionals with ascending careers, parents to two small children. Brad’s diagnosis stripped those identities away: he became a patient and she his caregiver. Brad’s cancer quickly turned aggressive, necessitating a stem-cell transplant that triggered a massive infection, robbing him of his eyesight and nearly of his life. Kate acted as his full-time aide to keep him alive, coordinating his treatments, making doctors’ appointments, calling insurance companies, filling dozens of prescriptions, cleaning commodes, administering IV drugs. She became so burned out that, when she took an online quiz on caregiver self-care, her result cheerily declared: “You’re already toast!” Through it all, she felt profoundly alone, but, as she later learned, she was in fact one of millions: an invisible army of family caregivers working every day in America, their unpaid labor keeping our troubled healthcare system afloat. Because our culture both romanticizes and erases the realities of care work, few caregivers have shared their stories publicly. As the baby-boom generation ages, the number of family caregivers will continue to grow. Readable, relatable, timely, and often raw, Already Toast—with its clear call for paying and supporting family caregivers—is a crucial intervention in that conversation, bringing together personal experience with deep research to give voice to those tasked with the overlooked, vital work of caring for the seriously ill.
