About the Book

Longing for a less hectic life for herself, her husband, and family, the author explains how her dreams were met when moving from Silicon valley, to southwest Colorado, in 2002. How her husband´s declining health effected their life´s forever. She describes in great detail the changing dynamics within her family during this difficult time and how she coped with the situation. Since she has become a Certified Life coach, and Hospice volunteer working with the family caregiver while she was writing this book, she was able to use her coaching skills for advice for the caregiver, with each stage of the transition, and offer first hand experience with working with the family caregiver through hospice. There are over 52 MILLION caregivers in this country, and the number continues to climb. This book is a valuable tool, honest and emotional memoir, for anyone finding themselves in the role of a caregiver.
