<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Are you a sudden caregiver? When an unforeseen medical crisis robs someone you love of their health and wellbeing, do you feel caught off guard and ill-prepared for your caregiving role? </p><p>Plenty of research confirms what you may already know: caregiving is depleting, worrying, and exhausting, often leading to physical and emotional burnout, fear, and illness.</p><p>Yet a growing body of evidence tells us that while caregiving <b><em>is</em> </b>depleting, it can also be a source of strength, well-being, and purpose.</p><p><b>Caregiving may be inevitable, but caregiver distress is not. </b></p><p>Written by a family caregiver <em>for </em>family caregivers, <b><em>The Sudden Caregiver: A Roadmap for Resilient Caregiving, </em></b>will help you to: </p><ul><li>Take control of the practical tasks and available resources your circumstances require.</li><li>Minimize unpleasant surprises and maximize well-being for you and the person in your care.</li><li>Leverage "resilience builders" to protect yourself against stress and replenish your spirit. <p/><p>"Beautifully written and empirically sound. I can see that it will help many caregivers of all types. I look forward to sharing it with my caregiver networks."<br>- Dr. Judith Moskowitz, <b>PhD, MPH, </b>Professor, Medical Social Sciences, Northwestern University - Feinberg School of Medicine and President of the International Positive Psychology Association<br>___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ </p></li></ul><br/><p><b>About the Author<br></b><br>Karen Warner Schueler became a sudden caregiver when her late husband was diagnosed out of the blue with stage IV cancer.
