Acerca de esta escucha
Are you facing the task of caring for an aging relative, a child, or a loved one through a serious illness? This book is a real-life approach to handling the multitude of problems that crop up each day.
In your home, in a care facility, and in all the variations of caregiving locations, there are ways to help those who matter to you and help yourself survive the stress and strain of caregiving:
- How to wait in waiting rooms
- How to find a new location for your loved one when the present situation no longer meets his or her needs
- How to handle medical insurance
- How to handle home care
- How to resolve problems with medical staff
- How to get bills paid
There are answers for these issues and many others - real-life answers that work. Need an idea or new avenue for that dead end you are facing as a caregiver? The goal of this book is to provide those answers and offer suggestions. Examples of real people dealing with problems and solutions are in every chapter. Some will make you smile, some will make you cry, but each will show what can be done as you face this demanding and rewarding task in your own life.

Of all the worldly experiences, nothing beats being a dad! But to enjoy this momentous new role to the max, you’re going to need some indispensable advice…from a man! For moms, there are a ton of books preparing them for every change and every stage. Let’s face it, the only set of instructions men get is the one in the pregnancy test. To make the process less daunting, you need to know exactly what new responsibilities you will have and what challenges lay ahead of you. This is why a dad of three has put together the man’s manual on pregnancy, babies, and toddlers.

Throughout my life I have done things my way, and they have always worked out - as if I've had luck in my corner. All of my optimism and bravado came to a crashing halt one cold December holiday night, when after an evening out with good friends, I suffered an accident. I was beaten with a pipe and later found under a moving train, resulting in quadriplegia. Given virtually no chance to walk again, I was devastated. But I also had hope, and lots of it. A fire that exists deep within, and has since childhood, burns on no matter the circumstances. I am here for a bigger mission. What would that mission now be?

Like most Americans, you might think of Ben Carson as a trailblazing brain surgeon and, in the last few years, as an outspoken commentator on national issues. But his wife of more than 40 years knows him as so much more: A loving husband, a devoted father, a devout Christian, a committed philanthropist, and a fierce patriot. Now Candy Carson introduces us to the private side of a very public figure as she shares the inspiring story of their marriage and their family.

Does it seem like everything is moving so fast these days you can barely keep up? Do you sometimes feel that your life is spinning out of control? Most of us are so overwhelmed by the stuff in our daily lives -- work, bills, family commitments, demands from our kids' schools -- that we rush from person to person and place to place. For many of us, life feels completely out of balance because we give one area of our lives too much attention and the other areas nowhere near enough.
