I hope my story will help you realize that you are not alone on the caregiver’s path
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (PRWEB) October 11, 2016
Although a seasoned professional healthcare provider and caregiver, Lee Hildebrandt found herself facing unfamiliar and overwhelming challenges when her husband, Robert, succumbed to debilitating chronic illnesses. In her new book, “Barely Hanging On: A Caregiver’s Plight” (published by Balboa Press), she shares a true story of struggle and sacrifice while imparting practical insights for fellow caregivers facing a similar journey.
“Barely Hanging On” is an account of the experiences of Hildebrandt and her husband as they tried to maintain control over their lives together amid Robert’s worsening health. It also describes Hildebrandt’s struggle to cope with tough-love decisions while dealing with the healthcare system, the legal system and the welfare system. At the core of this book is a powerful message of love and hope.
“I hope my story will help you realize that you are not alone on the caregiver’s path,” Hildebrandt says. “I hope it prepares you for making a similar journey and provides useful information, ideas and options for you to use while making your journey.”
“Barely Hanging On” is a deeply moving story of a wife’s love for her husband and a glimpse into the ups and downs of a caregiver’s journey.
