Due out in the fall of 2021, The Caregiver’s Companion is a book for people who care for others. It is intended to be a companion, in the sense of a compassionate ally, for those who find themselves, perhaps abruptly, needing to care for others. In November 2012 my husband Ron suffered a massive attack on his brain. He has written about this experience in his award-winning book, The Defiant Mind – Living Inside a Stroke. In my book I describe how Ron’s stroke affected me, and talk about the critical demands and the marvellous rewards of caring—of exercising and extending care. I also write about the adventures that otherwise would not have chanced our way had it not been for Ron’s stroke.
Ultimately I argue that caring for each other, our communities and the Earth we inhabit, is the most vital work we can do.
