A Must Listen For Understanding Caregivers
This book gave me a whole new perspective on what caregivers go through. I don’t have a caregiver role in my life, but I know people who do, and this helped me understand their challenges and emotions so much better. The letters are heartfelt and practical, offering insight into a world I didn’t fully grasp before. It’s an eye-opener (in the best way) for anyone who wants to support caregivers or simply understand their experience.
