-- 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Dr. Stan Knapp is a member of the Yahoo Groups Strokecaregiverssupport . As a renowned researcher and now a caregiver, he speaks from both the objective position of a researcher and writer and sensitively from the subjective position of the person who provides care to his wife of many years.
If you provide care, you can learn from his very well written book for caregivers, “Leaning Into Sharp Points: Practical Guidance and Nurturing Support for Caregivers.”
Stan points out that although statistically almost everyone will become a caregiver, most people feel like they are alone in a frightening foreign land. Whether visiting occasionally or caregiving 24/7, they are brushing up against life’s sharpest point.
Are you like the fellow in Stan’s book -- “How do I do this?” he said. “We’ve been married for 40 years, but God help me, I don’t know what I should be doing.”
For help and support 24 hours a day, you can join one of the Yahoo Groups Stroke Lists.
