I am a first time author sharing my journey becoming a caregiver of parent diagnosed with Dementia as well as inheriting the care of my older sister with Cerebral Palsey whom my mom took care of since birth. I am happy to share my story including some of the struggles of being a caregiver and resources for help in this role. It’s a humbling path when not only caring for loved ones but learning to implement Self-Care during the process.
I was inspired to write my book by my family members in my care. Initially, I had no idea how to handle the new responsibility or where to find sorely needed assistance. I wanted to provide guidance to those who may also be thrusted into this position without a clue of what to do in the beginning stages and beyond. Help is out there; even groups geared to the African American culture. I help direct you to support online and through local / state agencies.
