Book Synopsis How to Survive Caregiving by : Jim Comer
Download or read book How to Survive Caregiving written by Jim Comer and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of American become caregivers each year and most are woefully unprepared. In 1996 Jim Comer became one of them. In this book he helps sons and daughters get ready for a journey that almost every family will face.Jim's life was turned upside down by an early morning phone call: his father had suffered a massive stroke while caring for his mother who had Alzheimer's. An only child living in Los Angeles, Jim found himself an "overnight parent" at the age of 51. That call is coming for most adult children and Jim's experience will help them be ready.In 14 years of caregiving, Jim lived the questions and learned the answers. He dealt with hospital, hearing aids, Medicare and finding three gallons of Scotch in his father's retirement home closet. Through it all he learned to adapt, accept and forge a deeper, more intimate relationship with his parents.Jim shares the secret of how to survive caregiving with sanity and a sense of humor: going into his parents' world. Too many adult children expect their parents to remain the way they were in the past. Often that is not possible. The key to successful caregiving is to love them where they are now. Jim shares this book with 22 talented friends whose experiences range from being a former Navy Seal to a networking guru to a 93-year-old speech coach. Their stories are a powerful testament to the creativity, resilience and diversity that is alive and well in the Austin chapter of the National Speakers Association.
