Caring for loved ones physically, mentally & emotionally can be difficult while also trying to care for yourself is something that I am very familiar with. Being a caregiver, full time or part time, can be overwhelming, and it often burns people out, which leads to them walking away! In the midst of continuing to be a supportive wife and mother, attending therapy, church, working, and creating a support group for caregivers, Smiling Tears, I decided to publish a book to help as many caregivers as I possibly can. I wanted to bring something positive into what could be looked at as a negative situation. I want us to talk, listen, be heard, and get resources to assist with maintaining a healthy and balanced life.
