Caregiving is relentlessly hard. There are no easy routes. No one-size-fits-all guides. And no quick spiritual fixes.Sometime in the fall of 2007, I became my parents' primary caregiver. Care Given is the story of my experience. I knew I wanted to make sure my parents felt safe and loved in their last years. And selfishly, I wanted to walk away from our lives together without regret - knowing I'd done my best for these sweet people who gave me life. What I didn't know was how hard it would be.More than 40 million, mostly invisible, family members and others are currently providing unpaid care for their frail loved ones. They know what I am talking about. This book offers them validation, support, and even laughter.It sheds light on issues caregivers face and how loved ones can support them. It offers tips for handling day-to-day practicalities and tells of lessons learned. It contributes to important conversations about care of the elderly and end-of-life issues. And yes, this book addresses head-on the notion that self-care is possible in the midst of caregiving. All while fearlessly exploring the range of emotions caregivers experience - from laughter to rage and joy to grief.Ultimately, Care Given is a narrative of experience, strength, and hope. It speaks to caregivers, true, but also to anyone who yearns to find meaning and even peace in suffering.
