Praise for The Caregiver's Advocate
"The role of caregiver is one we will all play within our
lifetime, but it will be different for each of us. Here is a book
that offers practical advice, profound understanding of how
caregiving changes the caregiver, and spiritual support during
end-of-life all in one space. Hearing the authors' personal
experiences is inspiring and reassuring that no one is perfect, but
all are capable of being a caregiver advocate. This book is a tool
we all need in our toolbox; the sooner, the better!" —
Janet Carter, LMSW, aging life-care
manager
"The Caregiver's Advocate was such a delightful book to
read. So many different ideas and tools. I love the part about
music and dance. I believe in my soul; we all have that ability
built into us. Thank you so much for helping others who are
struggling with what could be such a lost feeling. These are
helpful tools." — Pamela Bonta,
caregiver, Texas Health and Environment Alliance
"This book should be in all primary care offices and available
to all children, parents, and any caregiver. Each and every chapter
is a wealth of information. I particularly enjoyed the
Resources chapter. There is more information than I even knew
about!" — Dr. Mariali
