The stories are fabulous! This is exactly what caregivers need! When they do have a moment to themselves, to be able to pick up a book that contains stories just like their own is priceless. They are reminded that they are not alone. It provides them with the means for laughter and tears; both so essential in the caregiver journey.

Jo Huey
author, Alzheimers Disease: Help and Hope

For twelve years I had the privilege to care for my wife, who died from the debilitating impact of multiple sclerosis. During those twelve years, I searched for all the inspirational material that I could put my hands on that would emotionally help me through those trying times of being a caregiver. I found many books that talked about the subject of the disease that she and I were battling, but very little that directly was written to help and inspire me. Finally, the book has been written. You have it in your hands. You will be helped, informed, encouraged and inspired in your life by Chicken Soup for the Caregivers Soul.
