Stroke: Who Cares? Item Info
- Title:
- Stroke: Who Cares?
- Description:
- Stroke: who cares? shares the experiences of 5 people who each served as the primary carer for a relative who had a stroke. These stories offer an insider look into how these individuals dealt with this tumultuous task and the impacts of being a carer on their life, work, and finances. Each carer shares a distinct experience with the medical system. This book also gives a personal look into the highs and lows of stroke survivors, including issues of loneliness, feeling trapped, and the benefit of laughter. Each story overflows with pain, love and tenderness; many of the carers express guilt, and sometimes anger. The five authors make up the Stroke Carers Writing Group, and their work is a testament to the importance of community, and the support that carers themselves need.
