A Special Gift for You—5 Books Every Caregiver Needs

I’ve been thinking about you and the craziness that comes with caregiving.

Some days it feels like it’s all just too much, right?

That’s why I wanted to share something special with you today—a little gift that I think could really help.

I’ve got a gift article from The New York Times that gives a rundown of 5 amazing books for caregivers.

You don’t need a subscription to read it, and it’s packed with helpful advice, real stories, and just the kind of support we all need on this journey.

Here’s a quick look at what’s inside:

· Helping Yourself Help Others: Rosalynn Carter (yes, that Rosalynn Carter!) talks about how to care for yourself while you’re caring for others.

· Travelers to Unimaginable Lands: This one digs deep into understanding people with neurological diseases.

· When the Time Comes: Real stories of families facing caregiving challenges—perfect for when you need to know you’re not alone.

· Passages in Caregiving: This book is like a guide through the different stages of caregiving, with a powerful personal story at its heart.

· The 36-Hour Day: A must-read if you’re dealing with Alzheimer’s or dementia—it’s full of practical tips.

Honestly, these books are full of wisdom and comfort, and they remind us that we don’t have to carry it all on our own.

I think you’ll really love this article and the books it recommends.

Warmly,

Vanja

PS – If you’re feeling like you could use more calm and balance in your caregiving life, I’d love for you to join me in my upcoming live workshop. I’ll be sharing the mindfulness techniques that helped me stay grounded through some pretty tough times, and I’d love to see you there.

We’ve got this, one day at a time. 😊
