Many people ask me how can I best prepare to be a good caregiver. I advise the caregiver to be well organized and communicate what the needs are for the person receiving care. My book helps the caregiver do just that.
The value of my book is confirmed in this article I recently found "Most Critical Skill for Family Caregivers" which talks about the importance of communicating. Communication is important for communicating with the patient and the doctors. This article also shares a tip to ask the doctor how best to communicate with them which is key.

I read this article and thought there were some key points that any caregiver should keep in mind. Here are the 6 points:
As a caregiver, recognize that you will ride an emotional roller-coaster.
Recognize that while there may be no cure for a loved one’s diagnosis, we each can choose our response to the situation.
Certainly educate yourself and your family members about the illness and prognosis. But recognize that each family member will process the situation differently and in their own time.
Ensure you build and maintain a circle of support for your loved one and for you.
Get enough sleep and find time to exercise.
Recognize you are on your own unique journey.
