The Accidental Caregiver

Helping Mom is the first book in the Accidental Caregiver series and is narrated by the author herself. The book relates the author's personal experience of taking on the responsibility of becoming the primary caregiver of her mother at home in her aging years. This short listen is filled with insight into the realities of caregiving from the daily logistics to the emotional impact on both parties. The book gives an honest account of what the listener may expect to face in their own choice to become a caregiver as well as offers tips and strategies to navigate a loving experience.

It can be daunting to create and maintain a steady, happy existence at any time, let alone when faced with the overwhelming responsibilities of caregiving. It can be done, however, with consistent effort, a commitment to oneself, and a bit of practice. This offering explores a strategy that is multi-dimensional as it peels back the layers uncovering the fact that we are more than just the physical body and as such we require attention and nurturing in the energetic, mental/emotional and spiritual bodies as well.
