Years of Free Caregiving: (How to Survive)

There are many phases to free caregiving, and each one is different.

You do it for various reasons-some because of love; some for reward, not monetary but for the satisfaction that you have helped someone; and others the obligation or necessity to do it. I was involved from age ten to ninety, just one among the forty-three million in the United States today, in giving care.

I am now almost ninety-five, living in a nice assisted living facility, and the recipient of care myself.

I wrote this book to reveal how I was able to cope, always trying to maintain a sense of humor and a positive attitude.

It requires patience, prayer, and push.
