Debbie explains how she selected the writers and highlights her chapter on “Caregiver Burnout.” We delve into the causes of caregiver burnout, the importance of self-care, having a support system, and caring for Mental Health. We also emphasize the need for caregivers to be educated about their loved one’s diagnosis, what to expect, and how to manage behaviors. Reflecting on their experiences, they spoke about the scarcity of information and resources available during their caregiving journey.

The book lists numerous excellent resources for caregivers, and Betsy is so honored that “Chatting with Betsy” is included as one of the resources. Debbie also shares insights about her business, The Purple Vine, LLC, which offers Coaching and a wealth of information to assist caregivers. We explored how our faith had helped us overcome the challenges of caregiving.
