There are a variety of situations caregivers tackle and all five of the authors have dealt with our share. One of the reasons we became so close is because we were helping one another through all kinds of caregiving situations. Some of the most important tips we shared with one another involved hospital stays, care facilities and hospice. Many caregivers face these same situations so it was an easy decision to focus this book on practical tips to help caregivers during these difficult times. We understand caregivers have enough to do and are stressed out when their loved one is hospitalized, staying in a care facility or entering hospice. We are committed to helping you through these challenging times and hope these practical, easy to read tips will help. Know you have someone (well, actually, five someones) on your team. We are all in this together! Connect with us at www.365CaregivingTips.com

Caregiving is hard enough and now we want to throw in traveling together?! Or arranging for a respite? Don't caregivers have enough to do?! Yes we do but traveling or taking a respite is something all five authors have done while caregiving. Oh, it is not easy (understatement alert!). We understand how scary and overwhelming it is - we felt that too. All of us. A lot. It is not easy to overcome those worries and fears but it is definitely worth it. We have been there and want to help you overcome any fear you have about traveling with your loved one or arranging for a caregiving break. We also know that it is truly difficult to leave and sometimes downright impossible. Because of that, we have included tips for your mental and physical well-being while staying at home. Whatever you choose to do, know there are others on this caregiving journey with you and we are here to help. We are in this together! Connect with us at www.365CaregivingTips.com

Five caregivers got together and decided to share their collective wisdom with other caregivers. We all started knowing just about nothing about caregiving but we learned "on the job" and by talking, laughing, crying and sharing with each other. 365 Caregiving Tips: Practical Tips from Everyday Caregivers is the beginning of a series of books created with the intent of helping others through their caregiving journey. The tips are practical because as caregivers, we have to be practical. We have to make the most of our limited time, money and energy and these tips are designed with those limited resources in mind. Read one tip a day or enjoy them all at once. Our hope is that by sharing these tips your caregiving day will be easier and your load a little lighter.

Los autores tienen diferentes experiencias de cuidado, pero comparten un vinculo comun: un fuerte sentido de defensa y un deseo de ayudar a otros mientras se divierten un poco.

!'El cuidado es lo suficientemente duro y ahora queremos incluir el viajar juntos?! 'U organizar un respiro? !'No tienen los cuidadores suficientes que hacer?! Si lo tenemos, pero viajar o tomar un respiro es algo que los cinco autores han hecho mientras cuidan. Oh, no es facil (!alerta de subestimacion!). Entendemos lo asustadizo y abrumador que es -- sentimos eso tambien. Todos nosotros. Mucho. Hemos estado alli y queremos ayudarle a superar cualquier miedo que tenga sobre viajar con su ser querido o arreglar para un descanso del cuidado.
