| Introduction | Hi, my name is Dave Nassaney; I am an author of numerous articles and books, speaker, life coach, and radio talk-show host for caregivers who are burned out, but my most important role is being a caregiver to my lovely wife, Charlene. My latest book that I am now working on is entitled: "The Caregiver's Caregiver, A Guide to Avoiding Burnout." It is designed to teach caregivers who are taking care of their loved ones (due to an illness or disability) how to take care of themselves FIRST. If they don't learn this, they will likely suffer burnout and become as helpless as the person they are caring for. Why am I so qualified to be "The Caregiver's Caregiver" you might ask? Well, as I have mentioned, I too am a caregiver to my wife since 1996, when she suffered a massive stroke for no apparent reason. As a result, she lost her speech and has not spoken in sentences since. She is also paralyzed on the right side of her body. Charlene was like a cross between Martha Stewart and Wonder Woman before her stroke. After a two year grieving period, she came to the realization that she had to "play the cards that she was dealt," and so she decided to reinvent herself. |
