Description
Whether you're a caregiver by profession or one of the many millions who now find themselves in that role, you'll benefit from stories that offer inspiration, humor, and healing. What happens when you suddenly find yourself having to care for your loved ones through life threatening illness, depression, and death--a role for which you are not prepared for and likely never imagined? Between 2000 and 2013, Jerry lost his sister, brother, and mother to cancer. At the same time, his father became profoundly depressed and nearly lost his own life as a result. While caring for his family, Jerry suffered unforeseen, devastating impacts--causing him to feel alone, depressed, exhausted, and continually questioning his value at work and worth in life.
