The unexpected journey of caring : the transformation from loved one to caregiver
2019
Book
With a foreword by Judy Woodruff, The Unexpected Journey of Caring is a practical guide to finding personal meaning in the twenty-first-century care experience. Informed by caregiver experiences and proven advocacy strategies, this book speaks to caregiving as it unfolds, in all of its confusion, chaos, and messiness. It greets caregivers where they are in their journey -- not where others expect (or want) them to be.
