Every day, millions of family caregivers lose sleep, jobs and relationships as they slog it out alone and in isolation. The backbone of America’s health care system, this hidden workforce is often framed in the media in terms of mind-numbing statistics. Who are the people behind the numbers? How do they cope? And at what cost to their own lives?
Author Jana Panarites goes beyond the statistics to share the inspiring, wrenching and at times funny stories of these unsung heroes: people caring for family members, friends and relatives amid the demands of their own lives. Jana also engages with professionals in the field of aging. She chats with artists who are using media to creatively address major health issues and challenge widespread assumptions about aging.
Laugh, cry, share and know you’re not alone.
