Reviews for From the Heart of a Caregiver: What 20 Years of Care Taught Me

""From the Heart of a Caregiver strikes the perfect balance between practical instruction, compassionate guidance, and grace-filled advice. From the very first thought, ""Caregiving is one of the most sacred and challenging journeys a person can take"". Gwendolyn guides the reader through the maze of emotions, decisions, heartbreak and joy that family caregivers (and devoted professional caregivers) experience as they walk with a loved one through this season of life. This book should stand as both a pragmatic handbook and a spiritual guide for any caregiver - family or professional. I've had the honor of working alongside Gwendolyn as a professional caregiver. There is no one more qualified to write this book."" -Cheri Cordet Zettel, Patient advocate and Professional Caregiver (retired)
