A Welcome Respite: How I Regained My Strength, Patience, and Well-Being While Caregiving

For any caregiver who ever needed to feel renewed, Kathryn Leigh Scott offers a compassionate acknowledgment of the love, patience, and determination it takes to do the right thing for yourself and for those you love. When Kathryn Leigh Scott's husband, Geoff, was diagnosed with a terminal illness, she had to become his caregiver. As powerless as she was to stop the effects of the disease, she needed to be there for him. She wanted to be. And as much as she hated to admit it, the situation was taking its toll. Stressed out, isolated from friends, and emotionally and physically exhausted, Kathryn joined a caregiver support group. This circle of empathetic new friends encouraged her to recapture her own sense of being. With their help, she learned that the best way to care for Geoff was to take care of herself as well. It became a welcome respite…and a necessary one.
