If you are a caregiver to someone with Alzheimer\u2019s or another type of\u00a0dementia, you carry a heavy load. On top of having to watch someone you love suffer, you are probably losing sleep, growing frustrated, and struggling with loneliness or even depression. With little to no help and no time for a break, this unrelenting stress is hard to carry.<\/p>\n
Whether that\u2019s you or someone you know, the caregiver needs care, too.\u00a0Grace for the Unexpected Journey: A 60-Day Devotional for Alzheimer\u2019s and Other Dementia Caregivers<\/i>provides that support.<\/p>\n
