Here is another good article about caregiving. In a sense, it distills down a lot of what I have experienced through the course of this blog. Looking back on my own experience, I find it interesting to see how I intuitively picked up on some of the points the author raises. As a straight-forward, no-nonsense article it is an excellent read for anyone in the caregiving situation.
Note: This material originally appeared in a blog I wrote while caring for my grandfather as he journeyed through dementia. It ran 2006-2009 and ended at the time of his death. This blog was the incipient material for a book, “The Sea is Wide: A Memoir of Caregiving.” If you have appreciated this writing, please consider purchasing the book and sharing it with others.
