This book is for people with Parkinson's and the people who care for them - husbands, wives, civil union partners, children, friends and neighbours. Living and Caring considers 'caring' in all its complexity and offers readers the opportunity to share the experiences of both people with Parkinson’s and their caregivers, and their reactions to a wide range of challenges. It draws on the personal experiences of over forty people living with Parkinson’s; sharing their journeys to help readers navigate theirs.
The anonymous quotes in Living and Caring allow people with Parkinson’s and their carers to be totally frank about their feelings, struggles and insights.By covering the care partnership from both sides of the caring coin, readers can be sympathetic to each other’s perspectives and work together on solutions for each unique relationship and situation. It is organised by subject so readers can dip into topics as they become relevant, as the progression of Parkinson’s varies so widely from person to person.
