Silver Lining Journals for Caregivers provide: A means and process
for documenting accurate, authentic, time ordered information
critical to communication with health care professionals, family
and friends. Although my professional background includes rewarding
work as a teacher, school administrator, consultant, and manager,
my greatest sense of accomplishment and satisfaction stems from
twenty years of caregiving for my family. It's the career move for
which I was least prepared and most challenged. Yet work as a
frontline caregiver for my mother, father, and husband provided
more job satisfaction, constructive teamwork, and sense of
accomplishment and purpose than I knew possible. - Sharon Martin,
Silver Lining Journals. Sharon Martin was born in Beckley, West
Virginia, grew up in Fairfield, Ohio, and earned degrees from
Cumberland College, University of Memphis, and University of
Nebraska, Omaha. After marrying, she worked as a literacy
specialist in public schools in Ohio, Tennessee, and Arkansas,
before moving with her husband and two sons to her current home in
Omaha, Nebraska where she continues to work as an educational
consultant and caregiver advocate. Although Sharon has worked as a
professional educator since 1971, she, like millions of others in
our society, was beckoned to the non-professional role of
caregiver. Her caregiving role began in 1988 when one of her
teenage sons had a car accident that required 3 months of
hospitalization and a year of recovery at home. In 1991, different
caregiving responsibilities evolved when her mother fell and broke
her hip, and later, suffered a mental and emotional breakdown
following a carjacking and murder of her only son, Sharon's only
sibling, in 1994. Unanticipated care-giving responsibilities
expanded when her husband was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer
at the same time her father was diagnosed with advanced dementia,
macular degeneration, and lymphoma. From that time until June,
