Description
Life doesn’t normally prepare us to become a loved one’s caregiver. When it happens it’s usually sudden—the diagnosis of an illness, age-related frailty, dementia—and life suddenly is anything but normal. And because we don’t even know what we don’t know, where do we turn for help or guidance? We feel lost, alone... Linda Burhans was just as unprepared when her mother’s cancer diagnosis thrust her into the role of caregiver. That experience changed her own professional path. Today she’s a leading caregiver advocate, author, and public speaker. She knows, firsthand, what you are going through. Connecting Caregivers—Answer to the Questions You Didn’t Know You Needed to Ask, Burhans offers information, education, and inspiration from her own experience and from experts whose advice, practical tools, and personal stories will empower and guide you.
Linda Burhans is a national speaker on Caregiver Advocacy and has facilitated over 1200 support groups and workshops for caregivers. She shares lessons learned and coping tools with thousands of caregivers who attend her events or read her work. Her weekly blogs provide expert guidance on resources and best practices for caregivers all over the United States. She is ever awed by the strength, resilience, and commitment of the caregivers she meets and seeks to remind them that they are not alone. Caregivers that seek to take on everything on their own often decline in health. The most important thing she teaches is that caregivers need and deserve the time and space to take care of themselves.
