If you are caring for someone, this book is for you. It contains everything that helped Verran to find his way as he cared for his wife Karen from her initial diagnosis, to her death 81/2 years later.

This is so beautiful, so helpful right now. Rachel, caring for her mother.

Whenever he discovered a new way to do something, or a new way of thinking, or being that worked for him, he wrote it down in a notebook. Page by page, that notebook became this book - a collection of reminders that helped him time and time again, and especially when he was struggling.

This book connects to the human in all of us, a hand to hold, and a guiding light. Lee, caring for his wife.

The thoughts within this book still help Verran today, and he hopes that they will help you too. He invites you to try whatever catches your eye, whatever makes sense to you in your heart. Also to notice whenever you find a new way that works for you, to add your own reminders, or create your own version of this book.

It is Verran's hope that these thoughts will help you to adapt, and to grow, and to find your way. Your way to truly be with those that you care for, to nurture your own peace of mind, and to create the space you need for you.

Wow - this is a book of life - so many wonderful thoughts, I love it. Emily, Specialist Social Worker supporting carers.

'You have created something very beautiful and it will, I am sure, be a source of strength and wisdom to many people.' Sally Light, Chief Executive, Motor Neurone Disease Association 'This book is a little Gem, so much is said and so much help given in so few words. I thoroughly recommend it for you if you are alongside someone with cancer or perhaps to slip into the hand of someone supporting you.' Robyn Volkers, Head of Online Cancer Support. www.maggies.org 'This is so beautiful, so helpful right now.' Rachel, caring for her mother. 'Perfect doses of self-care, insight and wisdom when you need it - this little book packs a heap of wisdom into its text-light pages, reminding us that time with a loved one is a gift.' Alicia, Amazon US review 'Thought-provoking tips and coping strategies.' Caring for Carers Newsletter, February 2020. www.improvinglivesplymouth.org.uk 'This is such a lovely, powerful book.'
