"The only way to avoid being a caregiver in any way is to have no ties with anyone, which usually doesn't happen."

These are only some examples (based on true stories) of people who require caregiver services, but it shows the enormity and far-reaching implications of the problem.

Recipients of caregiver services did not ask for their situation but they find themselves in desperate need of help from one day to another.

Their lives are disrupted and now the lives of their spouses, children, siblings, and friends will be disrupted also.

While it can be rewarding, care giving requires tremendous emotional, physical and spiritual stamina. That's why I created "Today's Caregivers Guide" to offer care for the caregiver.

The good news is that we're living longer than ever before. Medical Science and technology can now prolong the lives of millions of Americans who suffer from a variety of diseases and ailments. It's not bad news that many of these people need constant care but it is a reality that millions of Americans face each year.

Medical Science and technology simply can't find a way to match the loving care and companionship that only a family member or trusted friend can provide. That's up to us to provide and many of us have already been providing that level of care for years. It makes sense then to get prepared.

Wouldn't it be a tremendous relief to discover you're not alone; that there are resources to turn to and specific things you can do to make this journey easier?

Read an excerpt from the book:

Family dynamics impacted

One thing to note about care giving is that it really has no defined period. It can be for months or it can last for years. It can be part-time or it can be full-time. It can require intensive services or minimal services. The level and amount of caregiver services varies from one person to another.

The level required changes from time to time also. As a person transitions through various stages of a disease, so does the need for services. The level of need constantly changes and as the level changes, so do moods, abilities, and capacity of the caregiver.

As a disease progresses and worsens, family dynamics often become difficult and change drastically. People compromise their lives and see no end in sight. It is a time of great sadness while the sacrifices are being made. However, more importantly, it is a long-term time of grieving and sadness watching a loved one’s life being splintered more and more each day.

The family dynamics often suffer most as family members handle it with varying degrees of acceptance. Some family members have described it as ‘mourning over and over again’ with each state of decline.
But regardless of the level, the strain on the caregiver(s) is enormous. The support they need as ‘givers’ is usually never recognized until it’s too late.

Here is another excerpt:

Battling depression, stress, and anxiety

Caregivers naturally bounce between feelings of personal fulfillment and depression, stress, and anxiety when care giving. They are caregivers for different reasons. But they all eventually experience some level of depression or stress in their daily lives. Many caregivers feel overwhelmed with their responsibilities but they can’t find the strength to reach out for help.

Depression and stress can negatively change the family dynamics. Under pressure, caregivers may say and do things they normally would not say or do. Feelings of sadness, isolation, and anxiety can become crippling to the caregiver.

Helping them to recognize this and to manage it is an important part of family and personal relationships. Friends and family can offer much support to a caregiver and can help identify a problem if they are experiencing stress, depression, and anxiety. Diffusing these situations can make the issues much easier to handle in the long term and can take a tremendous burden off of the caregiver.

Other People's Opinions

	Care giving usually doesn't happen gradually. Families are often thrust into the situation because of a crisis, without any experience on how to manage the overwhelming stress, responsibilities, legalities, and medical aspects. Stephen has done an excellent job guiding the reader through the maze. Very easy to read, motivating, empowering, and highly recommended! Melissa Dinkins
	My parents are both currently caring for their parents. I bought this book for them because it hit on every issue that my parents are going through. This book is supportive and provides practical information for those facing many difficult situations. The anecdotes used in this book seemed like they came directly from my family's experience. I would highly recommend this book to others. Naomi Dews
	So many caregivers begin knowing nothing of how the system works and what to expect. It can be so frightening trying to figure it all out and find the right places to ask for help. This book answers many of these questions and helps with your understanding of the caregiver process. Which I can knowingy tell you can be a very rewarding but thankless job at times. I'm so happy to found this book. Thank you! Frank Estes
	It is about time that someone tackled the issues that caregivers face. It can often be a lonely and confusing time. I was a caregiver for my mother a few years ago and looked everywhere for a book like this. I needed something to walk me through all of the things I didn't understand. This is a well-crafted, easy to read and understand book that all caregivers should read. I wish it had been available five years ago! I recommend it highly. Jennifer Taylor
	This book reinforced many things I've known, but needed to hear. It also pointed me to some great resources that I'd have never known existed. I recommend it for everyone in a care giving role, whether the active day-to-day caregiver or a caregiver who lives a long distance away. It is written in short chapters or articles -that's easy to pick up in a spare moment. I can honestly recommend it. Korey Edwards
	Thank you Caregivers-guide.com! I stumbled across your website a few weeks ago and decided to give your book a try. As a new care giver for my elderly father, I found the information you provided very helpful. The primary area that you touched on that had the biggest impact on me was the feelings from other siblings. I hadn’t really taken into consideration that there may be jealousy issues from others due to my care taking of my dad. Now, I realize that I need my siblings help and I need to keep them updated on a regular basis as to how my dad is holding up. Once I began to apply some of the details in your book to my situation, I have seen my sister’s attitude change for the better. I fully endorse the ‘Today's Caregivers' Guide” as an easy to understand practical guide for care giving. Sandra Hayes

By now you see that...

Average Caregivers lose $650,000 USD during the course of a family care giving “career” (according to the National Alliance for Caregivers, family Caregivers suffer a financial loss equal to more than $650K in lost wages, pensions and Social Security benefits over their lifetimes)

How much would you give for a package that can save you thousands of dollars?

If it saves $100 isn't that worth at least $50?
If it saves $1,000 isn't that worth at least $500?
If it saves $10,000 isn't that worth at least $5,000?

Now imagine how much it worth to you if it saves even a little portion of the $650K…

Not to mention the loss in your health, freedom, well-being, relationships, and a lot of trouble you will experience without it...

The Great News is That I Won't Charge Even $50 for the Package…
You Can Now Get All Of This Essential Knowledge
For Just $37

If someone told you that a $37 "investment" would transform you into a confident, strong, stress less, and happy person, who can REALLY take care of her/his loved one in the hard times, would you take action?

My guess is a resounding YES! You'd be a fool not to, right?

Do you honestly want to be a happy, confident, strong, and stress less caregiver?

P.S. Now, I must tell you that it's quite possible that the price of the package will go up soon. The way I get people like you coming to my website is through advertising in Internet Search Engines like Google, and it's getting expensive. I’m really not greedy at all, but I do at least want my costs to be covered. At this low price, it might not be the case so I might have to raise it to $37.

P.P.S. Remember, this book isn't just for caregivers; it's about them and how others can lend a helping hand. Whether you are a caregiver or know one, this guide is for you!
