The transition from spouse to caregiver is not an easy one, often causing frustration, resentment, sadness, fear, and concern about the future. A lot has been written about caring for the Parkinson's patient, but their caregivers need a book to help them cope with the enormous life changes that Parkinson's brings to a relationship. This book does that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarbara Davis's husband had Parkinson's for over twenty years. She wrote this book after more than two decades of personal experience because she wanted to chronicle the serious matters that most Parkinson's partners don't like to talk about publicly, and the feelings and frustrations they are embarrassed to share. By discussing these challenges openly and honestly, this unique book seeks to help others in ways that are not otherwise easily accessible, and to let them know that they are not alone in dealing with the negative life impacts of Parkinson's Disease. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAdvice from a Parkinson's Wife\u003c\/em\u003e is realistic and enlightening, providing stories and advice from someone who's been there, along with practical suggestions for how to cope with the changes caregivers experience.
