Caregiver's Survival Guide: Caring for Yourself While Caring for a Loved One

Caregiver's Survival Guide is based on Dr. Robert Yonover's personal experiences. While struggling to become a successful scientist and inventor, he also was primary caregiver for his paralyzed wife for more than twenty years and raised their two children. Yonover takes you into the throes of his life as a caregiver, husband, and father, offering guidance and hope through his story. He provides advice on:

Dealing with heavy news

Handling day-to-day challenges

Holding on to the foundation of your relationship

Taking stock of finances

Adapting and enjoying life

Staying sane

Maintaining a social life

Fighting for your rights

Through Caregiver's Survival Guide, Dr. Yonover will equip other caregivers who face similar physical, mental, social, and financial challenges with tips and guidelines from his own experiences and other experts to help make their situation survivable.
