Publisher's Summary

A caregiving guidebook to help you navigate your caregiving journey with skill and confidence, Navigating the Caregiver River: A Journey to Sustainable Caregiving empowers the family caregiver with tools and strategies to create a sustainable caregiving experience for the duration of the journey.

Theresa Wilbanks cared for her father until he passed at the age of 99. During that time, she learned that caring for a family member is overwhelming, lonely, and stirs the perfect storm of emotions. When she learned to set boundaries, use mindfulness to enhance awareness, identify when winning was losing and equally important, when losing was winning, she began to manage the thoughts and emotions that were causing crippling stress.

With humor and vulnerability, Theresa shares her story and the strategies that helped her move from drowning to navigating. Travel along and hold on through the rapids, loosen your grip to steer over and around the obstacles, and enjoy the float through the calm sections. Learn tips to manage hospitalizations, when driving is no longer safe, medication management, and more.

Caregiving changes us. The struggle makes us stronger. Sustainable caregiving strategies will serve you through the caregiving experience and beyond."

Insightful

Most insightful look at the complex problems many face caring for loved ones with dementia. The narration is particularly captivating and draws you into the reality these people face on a daily basis.

A great choice for a newbie

As a first time audiobook customer, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I welcomed the information presented as it relates to caring for a relative with dementia. The strategies and challenges were relatable and helpful in navigating a challenging situation. I was concerned that as an audiobook I would not find the experience engaging and I would get bored listening to the narrator droning on, but the exact opposite was true. The narrator had a warm and caring voice, The “performance “ was clear and completely captivating. I planned on listening to the recording for short periods but found myself lingering longer than intended. I couldn’t be more pleased with the content and the narrator. An excellent choice for this newbie!
