“I have read a lot of books on caregiving and have also been in support groups, but this author really opened my mind and heart by what she had to say. I finally realized that taking care of my husband for so many years had really taken a toll. Since I never was able to put my needs first since I would feel guilty until I thought I was going to completely fall apart. I now know that I have to stop feeling like I have to solve everyone else’s problems when all I really had to do as she said in her book is take time to “breathe” and take time for myself. Also asking others for help is not a sign of weakness.”
