As a caregiver myself, I found much to relate to, particularly in the anecdotal material, which is often touching and quite real. I found inspiration in the concept that caregiving is an opportunity to change for the better, to be a better human being in the service of someone you love. I also admit, with some guilt, that in reading the anecdotes I often thought how lucky I was to not have all of the burdens that others have.
A good deal of the book deals with the caregiver’s role from psychological, religious, and mythic perspectives heavily infused with Joseph Campbell and Eastern religion. I found some of this material to verge on psychobabble, and found the author’s attempt to merge this information into the practical detail to be awkward. Nonetheless, this is a valuable work to turn to as so many of us become caregivers. ( )
