Overview

About the Book - God forbid when someone in the family gets diagnosed with a chronic or fatal illness, the entire family comes together for a few days. The entire load of the patient's care will go on one of the family members who will spend the most time, money, energy and/or emotions in the process while becoming the caregiver. Everyone will focus on caring for the patient while the care for the carer is neglected. Why don't we try caring for the carer for a change? This book shares some ideas on how a carer can care for the patients, in addition to caring for themselves in the process. This book is a must-read for everyone who has someone suffering in the family with a chronic illness. Allow me to tell you that you are not alone while reading my experiences through this book. Let's come together and share our journeys as carers! About the Author - I am a Canadian citizen, born in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. My lineage can be traced to Gujarat, India, yet some of my relatives live in Karachi, Pakistan. I went to an American School, a Canadian University for my undergrad and then to an English University for my MEd, in Dubai, UAE, which is where I currently live. I speak English, French, Lingala, Urdu and Gujarati, and I understand bits of Arabic and Swahili. Having lived in many different cities around the world and having travelled widely, I feel like a global citizen connected to everyone everywhere. My mission in life is to provide support to as many people as I can by creating support groups and communities for carers to come together all across the world. Let's care for carers too!
