Focus on self-care.

One of the most valuable aspects of this audiobook for me was its focus on self-care. It’s easy for me to lose myself in caregiving, but The Dementia Caregiving Companion stresses the importance of looking after my own well-being without guilt. Through this book, I’ve learned practical self-care practices that help prevent burnout and allow me to be fully present, both for my loved one and myself.
