in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

This e-book used to be recommended frequently to new members. It helps explain many of the behaviors and experiences reported on here. It provides valuable insight into how we can be more compassionate caregivers by understanding what our PWD LOs are going through.

Even in early Stage 7, I refer back to it periodically. It has helped me adjust since my DH cannot. I hope it helps someone today.
