Capsules of HopeSurvival Guide for Caregivers
Faced with her husband’s terminal diagnosis, Kathy Crawford searched for help and hope. Instead of giving up, she became the “Lionhearted Kat,” a caregiver seeking answers. What she learned along the journey she has compiled into thirty-one capsules—daily doses of help and hope for caregivers.
Capsules of Hope is more than a memoir it is a resource manual with stories, survival tidbits and twenty-two pages of practical advice and resources and answers to questions such as:
· How do I find the right doctor?
· What if my insurance won’t pay?
· How much do I tell the family?
· How to handle the medical bills
Kat and Gary Crawford together entered a tunnel of darkness, sickness, pain and confusion. They emerged triumphant, vindicated, empowered, and knowledgeable. Not all will be so fortunate, but all caregivers and patients can benefit from the Crawford’s journey. Kat has recognized the daunting task of the caregiver in this book. Knowledge is power and it is not necessary to re-invent the wheel. Kat has generously shared knowledge that was learned the hard way. She has had the courage to share her personal insights into a profoundly emotional journey.

Thanks Jill, my heartfelt desire is to reach into the hearts and lives of caregivers, offer them a boost for their weary days and laughter along their often tedious journey.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to watch my husband survive a terminal illness--of course, I'm thrilled I survived the process, too.
