Supportive and Reassuring

I found this audiobook really helpful as I’ve been stepping into a caregiving role for my aging parents. Claire Alden offers thoughtful suggestions that made me feel less overwhelmed and more capable of handling the emotional and logistical parts of caregiving. Her tone is warm and understanding, which made the information easier to take in. I appreciated the balance between real-life tips and emotional support. It made me feel like I wasn’t alone in this.

very compassionate resource

This book is such an insightful and compassionate resource that I think every caregiver should keep close at hand. Honestly, navigating this whole experience can feel incredibly overwhelming at times, but this guide lays out smart, practical solutions that genuinely help you maintain balance and take care of your emotional well-being. I had a sense of relief knowing that I wasn’t alone in this journey. The authors clearly understand what we’re going through, and it’s comforting to read their words. I especially appreciated the sections on self-care and stress management. Those tips have been a lifesaver, helping me navigate the emotional rollercoaster that comes with caregiving.

Well laid out plan for caring for aging parents.

This book was well thought out and laid out in easy to listen to chapters. Starting with self-care and time management moving into more advance topics of caring for aging parents, navigating the healthcare system and the tough topic of what to do as the end nears dealing with grief, hospice care, etc. The narrators voice was a calming listen and I would recommend this book to anyone getting ready or already caring for their aging parents.

Wonderful guide

This opening statement ‘Caring for those who cared for us is an honor’ says it all. Although challenging, it can be our greatest gift if we handle it properly. This audible shows you how to do just that. This resource is so beneficial, I wish I had found it sooner.

A Supportive Guide for Caregivers

This audiobook is a reassuring and practical guide to caregiving. It showed me how to manage responsibilities without feeling completely overwhelmed. The advice on balancing work, family, and personal well-being was especially helpful, offering concrete strategies instead of general encouragement. I liked the self care and burnout chapters, which usually get skipped over. It's a great tool for anyone caring for elderly parents, either starting out or already well established.

There were a lot of tips and techniques throughout the book that I'll be able to incorporate into my life with my parents. A great resource!

Powerful and Necessary Guide

I recently found myself stepping into the role of caregiver for my parents, and to be honest, I felt completely lost. The emotional weight, the logistical challenges, and the constant worry were overwhelming. This book has been an absolute lifesaver. The real strategies for managing daily tasks, handling financial and legal planning, and making sure you don’t completely lose yourself in the process are invaluable. The self-care tips were especially helpful because, let’s be honest, it’s easy to forget about your own needs when you’re so focused on your parents’ well-being. I love that this book acknowledges both the practical and emotional struggles of caregiving. I recommend this book and I am sure it will be exactly what you need.
