I was a family caregiver for 23 years. I cared for my mother, who had vascular dementia, my twin grandchildren, whose parents died in separate car crashes, and my paraplegic husband. Since I'm a health/wellness author, I turned to writing to cope and learn. The result is a series of four caregiving books that may be helpful. Caregiving is an expanding, consuming role that takes over one's life. Sending caring thoughts and virtual hugs to you.
