The Caregiver’s Journey

THE CAREGIVER'S JOURNEY

by Todd F. Cope, RN

Find peace, and even joy, in the journey to a loved one’s final days.

This reassuring book will help you cope with all of the decisions, challenges, and emotions that come with a terminal diagnosis or old age.

Learn how to bring your family together, how to minimize and alleviate pain, and how to care for yourself so you can provide better care for those you love.

Note from the Author

While you may be thinking that this is not the type of book (you would normally read), I believe you will find it surprisingly enjoyable and informative.

It is estimated that 65 million Americans (mostly women) are currently caregivers for a loved one.

With the Baby Boom generation reaching retirement age, that number will only increase.

Most adults who are not caregivers either know one, or anticipate becoming one in the near future.

As a Registered Nurse, I have spent most of my 25+ year career caring for the elderly in addition to personally caring for both of my parents in their later years.

In this time, I have discovered that there is a lack of easily understood and easily accessible information for people who find themselves caring for a loved one.

I have now addressed that concern in The Caregiver's Journey, a concise, accurate and enjoyable read.

With just 128 pages, even an overburdened caregiver can find time to read it.
