Caring for the Caregiver
Caring for the Caregiver
Being a Caregiver is one of the toughest acts of love to live. Often the Caregiver is overlooked by all including themselves as they make this heartbreaking journey with their loved ones. It takes an overwhelming toll on one's emotions, time, energy and health. There are times you fear you won't survive, but you somehow pull it together just enough for one more day to be strong for the ones you love and care for.
Finding yourself suddenly in this role, wouldn't it be a blessing to have someone guide you through? My guest this show is Mr. J. Dietrich Stroeh, author of Three Months: A Caregiving Journey from Heartbreak to Healing. He will guide us through his journey of Caregiver for his beloved wife, Margaret and their battle with Pancreatic Cancer. We will also offer suggestions on how to care for the Caregiver along the way. Please join us, this information might someday be important to you or someone you love.
