When you are the caregiver of an ailing loved one, living a "balanced" life may seem like an impossibility. But nothing is impossible with God.

Coping as Caregivers is a book of strategies that help make the caregiver's and care receiver's situation better, easier, and even more fun. Written out of the author's own experience of caring for her husband for eleven years, as well as the experience of fifty other caregivers, this book is a friend, a counselor, a practical guide.

The first section of the book covers common problems in caregiving and suggest strategies to cope with these situations. The second section provides guided imagery meditations for prayer and relaxation. The third section suggests games and exercises that have been proven to ease the time spent in treatment centers or to have fun at home.

Perfect for caregivers or care receivers who need a boost in their prayer life, a laugh on their lips, or a lightening of their load.
