“ No one really thinks about the person beside the bed. The caregiver is like an empty chair – visitors focus on the person in the bed, and the caregiver becomes invisible.
In the United States over fifty million family caregivers provide forty billion dollars in unpaid, informal care annually for adult family members and friends with chronic illnesses or conditions.
Informal caregiving can be highly stressful and exhausting. Within the pages of The Person Beside the Bed, author Jo Waters-Williams offers practical lessons and advice to those called to bear the weight of caregiving responsibilities. Featured resources include:
• A glossary of terms that caregivers encounter
• Reflection questions and notes ♤
• A 14-Day Devotional
• A researched list of online links
This book is the tool needed for the one who is carrying this “Blessed Burden” of caring for their loved one. Don’t let the caregivers in your life become invisible. Get this book! Use it! Share it!
