Summary
:
Whether you're prepared or not, chances are you'll take on the role of caregiver when a family member or friend is affected by a serious illness. As you'll soon discover, the tasks will range from major ones—checking someone into the hospital, sorting out insurance coverage, keeping track of medications—to the minor—walking the dog, preparing a meal, or just being there for someone. If you're determined to help but you're feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities, "Share The Care" offers a sensible and loving solution: a unique ground approach that can turn a circle of ordinary people into a powerful caregiver team. Here are valuable guidelines, compassionate suggestions, and a simple-to-use workbooks section that offer support to help free the patient from worry and the caregivers from burnout.
