Caregiving for End of Life is for those Americans who have unexpectedly had their lives disrupted by the call to caregiving for family and have questions about caregiving. The author, a former award-winning IT Director and intuitive, who provided end of life caregiving for family members, offers practical guidance on creating a caregiving plan, finding help and resources for caregiving, and recruiting family to help. With a focus on caregiving for family and friends who are near end of life, the book examines key points about elder care including, frailty, falling, suicide, and Alzheimer's. The book delivers cogent advice on finding health aides, caring for the dying, getting grief support, spiritual matters with caregiving, and what to know about preparing for cremation, funerals, burials and burial benefits for Veterans. Considerations around Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) and Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED) are discussed in simple terms. It also provides a discussion of specific health disparities and issues for diverse seniors including; African Americans, American Indians, Asian Americans, Latinos, U.S. Veterans and the LGBTQ community.

A prescient book that describes the current state of caregiving in the United States, Caregiving for End of Life also anticipates the silver tsunami, an aging population in need of caregiving that is breaking across the shores of countries around the planet, as world governments scramble to respond. One in four American adults are providing caregiving, and that number will increase over the next three decades. The need for caregivers continues to grow and the caregiving task falls on the backs of family members, and women largely shoulder the burden.

Caregiving for End of Life offers advice for those beginning the caregiving journey. Most Americans are unaware that at some point they will likely be called into caregiving duty for their parents or other family members, until the phone call comes that mom, dad, or some other relative is in the hospital, and the caregiving sojourn begins.
