    “This is terrific! Not only as a nurse, but also as a family caregiver, I can truly appreciate Tina’s insightful guidance provided in this Guide for Caregiving. This information would have been a source of much needed insights years ago when I cared for my mother-in-law whose multiple medical conditions were compounded by dementia. It would also have provided much needed direction ten years ago when caring for my mother in her home after suffering a stroke that left her paralyzed on her left side, on tube feedings, and essentially bedridden. And today, as I care for a family member with diabetes and dementia and help a dear friend who requires fourteen prescription medications and a special diet to maintain medical stability, I can rely on this Guide for answers to the many issues that I face.”

    “Tina Marrelli’s book is a “Life Saver.” Worry, doubt, confusion, depression, anger, and feelings of being overwhelmed were what I felt when I realized that I was the “Caregiver.” This book has transformed me into a confident caregiver knowing I could find the answer to most all situations I faced as a caregiver to a loved one and friend. It also made me realize the importance of taking care of myself. I would recommend this book to any professional or any person that find themselves in the caregiver position. It is a very valuable tool.”

    What a useful book. I am so happy to have it — it is so clear and understandable. I am a lawyer, but when it comes to caregiving, I’m a complete novice. This book helps give me confidence!

    Caring for a loved one can be overwhelming, but today we have an excellent guide to help us written by someone who understands caregiving for our loved ones and also for ourselves, something we often forget. This book, The Caregiver Role: What the Caregiver Needs to Know, is based on theory, but it is, a practical guide to help you handle real life caregiving problems that may come up and also to prevent some of them—to help you prepare with real tools and actions you can take. Read this book. Use it, and you will not regret it!
