Synopsis

Need to care for an aging parent or loved one at home? Want to learn from others who have overcome the challenges of in-home caregiving?

Then keep reading and learn from 10 in-home caregivers about their touching personal stories….

Dare to Care is written in the hope that it would encourage even just one other person to consider looking after their elderly relative at home. It is a personal reflection of the radical love and care offered by their in-home carers.

It certainly is not all work and no play, for while, naturally, there is much involved in caring for someone who is to become almost completely dependent on their carer, there are many moments of love, joy, and laughter.

These are personal stories about home caregiving that is very relevant and much needed in times of the pandemic and non-pandemic. Many families and homes all over the world can relate to the author’s personal experience of in-home caregiving.

Dare to Care is a most beautiful, heartening, and touching story. A one-of-a-kind story worth re-telling and learning from.

The book is written in two parts:

Part I is about the challenges and experiences faced by the author in looking after her centenarian mother-in-law in the last few years of her life and the very special bond that was formed. Believing how her experience as a caregiver had changed her profoundly for the better, she decided to share the story of this unique and special period in her life. It details the difficulties, the surprises and yes, the joys of caring for a loved one at home. It is a hard job but also an uplifting job when done with empathy and patience.

The author then invited other caregivers to tell the tale of their own labour of love.

Part II is a collection of loving stories by nine other caregivers whose lives were also touched and makes the book a fascinating read. The book fills one with emotions of joy, affection, and laughter that can only be found when devotion for each other is shared. At times of sorrow and loss, it shares the cherished memories that offer us light and hope.

In this book you will also learn:

· When living alone is no longer an option

· Making changes to your lifestyle

· Getting outside help

· Available facilities for carers

· When privacy is no longer an option

· Dealing with the unexpected

Together, the book gives an insight into various aspects of caregiving, both physical and psychological. The readers are uplifted by the loving devotion to the details of care, required of caregivers.

As their moving stories unfold, in caring for someone who would become almost - if not completely - dependent on the Carer, surprisingly, it is the Giver who benefits the most!
