Nurturing Your Self While Caring for Another

Nurturing Your Self While Caring for Another is for all those who face the prospect of caring for aging parents. The reflections shared in this book are written from their hearts, with the hope that readers will find the hope and courage, sprinkled with a smile and sense of humor, to carry on through what can be a very difficult time. Drawing on their own experiences, sisters Rose Kaszycki and Juanita Liepelt impart 31 days of inspirational thoughts, one for each day of the month, that point out the importance of the care you give to your self. "We hope that something in this little book will help you make good decisions in the care of your loved ones, and to understand that the most important decision you will make is to take good care of your self."
