Caregiver's Story: Coping with a Loved One's Life-Threatening Illness

"One caregiver's chronicles of the journey she took with her husband, as they battled his brain tumor. Beautifully written."-Naomi Berkowitz, Executive Director, American Brain Tumor Association

Just one year after battling a little-known illness called Guillain Barre, Ann Brandt faced another challenge when her husband was diagnosed with a rare, debilitating, and aggressive form of brain cancer. Lacking in resources or formal instruction, Brandt relied heavily on her faith and memories of how her husband cared for her during her illness to navigate them both through the difficult times ahead.

• Working with doctors and getting a second opinion
• Choosing a treatment plan
• Maintaining your life and sanity while offering good care
• Finding support groups and conferences
• Dealing with emotional and financial issues
• Making a connection between prayer and healing

Brandt offers a loving, encouraging environment to help steer you through difficult times and delivers much-needed support and comfort. For caregivers, family members, and friends alike, A Caregiver's Story provides the support you deserve.
