Are you a family caregiver struggling to take care of a loved one? Do you feel like you are part of an invisible workforce that toils in the darkness, unseen by other human beings? Take heart. According to researchers, more than forty million family caregivers in the United States contribute more than thirty seven billion hours of time and energy each year to provide care for their loved ones. If we're smart, we ask ourselves one thing: "Can I do this better, for me and my loved one?" The relationship between caregiver and patient should always be a cooperative one, even when serious illness creates enormous challenges. This workbook is designed to help you identify issues that keep you and your loved one at odds with one another. By recognizing problems and brainstorming possible solutions, you can point yourself in a better direction and bring about positive changes that insure the best quality of life for both of you.
