Getting the most out of caregiving while taking care of a loved one is a challenge. When that loved one is a spouse, the tasks are doubly daunting, magnified over and over. Being mindful of your loved one’s habits, hobbies, lifestyle, and preferences is important. This book offers insights on how to reclaim and get more joy from the caregiving love journey. As an unpaid, loving caregiver, Eunice Sykes writes the book she wished she had at the beginning of her journey—one that shares, educates, and offers joy and hope to those beginning their journey or those still on the journey. Deeply personal, in-the-moment anecdotes drawn from her journals add to the honest, moving testimony that this book delivers.
