I Hate Caregiving - Pat Cook - Bog

I HATE BEING A CAREGIVING
I have written this book as an open expression of a caregiver's burden of caring for her husband. It is raw. It is a bleeding cry of emotion for understanding the burden of caregivers. It is a relevant mouth piece for other caregiver's who have unexpressed emotions of frustration, anger, resentment, and wishful thinking. Wishful thinking that the burden was over. IT IS OKAY TO EXPRESS YOURSELF. The premise of this book is that caregivers suffer from being a caregiver. Research has shown that caregivers must take care of themselves so that they can care for their loved ones. Caregiver's suffer increased health risks and death as a result of the caregiver burden. The burden takes hold of the physical as well as the psychic of the individual who is the caregiver to a family member. The unique proposition for this book is the increased lifespan of humans require more attention be paid to health issues, increased medical cost, insurance cost, and whether the person can stay in their home for recovery or end of life choices. The overview of this book shows a caregiver's frustration and desire to end the caregiver burden.
Words thought about the experience of caregiving, but never spoken because of a fear of exposing themselves to public ridicule. This book gives a voice to those caregivers who have no voice. Until this project no one has shown a true picture of caregiving from the caregivers perspective.
