Caregiving, whether short-term or long-term, interferes with work and family commitments and relationships. It forces you to rearrange priorities and leisure time, may cause financial hardship and can result in health issues and even death for the caregiver. How do you make the best of this difficult situation?

The good news is that in this book, you will learn 21 common mistakes caregivers make and the solutions and strategies that will save you time, energy, and heartache. You will learn how to transform the caregiving journey into an experience of connection, confidence, and discovery.

These mistakes include:

  • Not having the documents you need
  • Not asking for help from family and friends
  • Not cultivating a positive mindset about caregiving
  • Not creating a supportive community
  • Putting your happiness on hold
  • Abandoning a spiritual or religious practice
