The Adventures of a Reluctant Caregiver

Have you found yourself thrust into a role you never imagined, with a disease like Alzheimer's barging into your life?

Do you struggle to balance the demands of caregiving with taking care of your own well-being?

In The Adventures of a Reluctant Caregiver, Margaret Shebalin shares the gritty reality of caring for her mother with dementia. Margaret didn't sign up for this journey willingly. In fact, she resisted it fiercely, angry and convinced that it was some sort of personal punishment. But as time went on, she realized that fighting against it only made things harder.

Through trial and error, Margaret learned that caregiving isn't about sacrificing everything. It's about finding a balance between helping and taking care of oneself. Amidst the chaos, Margaret found moments of grace. She learned to listen to that inner voice guiding her through the toughest times. And eventually, she came to accept that this journey was as much about her as it was about her Loved One.

Margaret shares the ups and downs of caregiving, offering practical insights and hard-earned wisdom. It's not a glamorous story, but it's real. And if you're on a similar journey, her experiences can offer you some comfort and guidance.

Because in the end, caregiving isn't just about getting through each day-- it's about finding your own path and learning to navigate it with compassion and grace.
