Uplifting and Resourceful

I found I am normal while losing memory, time, and health, Emotionally gone. This is typical but to have to find the resources to help the caregiver out and not be able to find them because of it not readily available to the average adult child was/is insane!

This book was phenomenal!! Use as a resource book, cheerleader when you believe failure to yourself, and just read it. You do not have to do this alone. Insightful!! Wish I had read last year with dad on the where’s, how’s and navigation system.
Great resources that I will use in the near future as I’m caring for my mom now.
