Most of us will become a caregiver at some point in our lives. And
we will assume this role for the most personal reason imaginable:
wanting to help someone we love. But we may not know where to
start, and we may be afraid of losing ourselves in this daunting
task. Former first lady Rosalynn Carter, a longtime advocate for
caregivers and mental health, knows firsthand the challenges of
this labor of love. Drawing upon her own experiences and those of
hundreds of others whose stories she gathered over many decades,
Mrs. Carter offers reassuring, practical advice to any caregiver
who has faced stress, anxiety, or loneliness. Helping Yourself Help
Others, reissued here with a new foreword, is as relevant as ever.
Long before the COVID-19 pandemic inspired national conversations
about the vast undervaluing of unpaid caregiving, the dangers of
burnout, and the merits of self-care for relief, Rosalynn Carter
was shining a light on these matters and everything else that
caregivers confront. Filled with empathy, this encouraging guide
will help you meet a difficult challenge head-on and find
fulfillment and empowerment in your caregiving role.
