When you promised 'in sickness and in health,' you likely never imagined the weight of daily caregiving. This book is written for the millions of spouses who find themselves in the tender, exhausting role of caregiver while still trying to be a partner.

Discover communication tools that honor both your needs and your spouse’s dignity, simple strategies for managing medication and appointments, and ways to ask for help without losing your sense of partnership. You are not alone, and you don’t have to burn out to be a good caregiver. With warmth and realism, this book shows you how to care for the one you love—and for yourself.
