Full of advice for family caregivers, this one of a kind
book written by a family caregiver provides lessons from
family caregivers across the country, tips for interacting
with the healthcare system to better meet the needs of
families dealing with chronic illness, and a cogent
presentation of how public policy has a profound effect on
even the most intimate details of life in caregiving
families. Suzanne Mintz has deftly woven together self-help
ideas and emotional guidance for individual family
caregivers with an inspirational call to arms for health
policy change. Through her own powerful personal story, she
tackles the range of emotions and the challenges facing
every caregiver. And most important, she offers advice on
how to ask for help. In addition she has taken the
discussion of family caregiving issues to the next level and
clearly explains why they demand the attention of our
elected officials. Whether you are a current or future
family caregiver, or a health policy advocate, you'll want
to read, and re-read, this book. As the mother of a son with
a disability, I only wish I'd read Suzanne's book before I
brought him home from the hospital. --Judy Woodruff, senior
correspondent, The News Hour with Jim Lehrer
