Gorsich, Board of Trustee, Greater Illinois Market, National MS Society Chair, Central Illinois Community Council, National MS Society I was honored to be one of the first to read Stepping Stones for Caregivers, by Karen Leeman. I found it uplifting, encouraging and incredibly positive. The techniques Karen suggests can be utilized in many areas of our lives. Each chapter addresses positive ways to approach caregiving and self-care. I strongly encourage anyone in a caregiving position to read this book and apply these stepping stones. Whether you're caring for a young child, a person with disabilities or chronic illness and, especially, our elderly parents and grandparents. In fact, I wish I'd had this book when I was a very young woman caring for my dying mother. This book would have undoubtedly helped me handle that painful time in my life with much more love and grace. The truth is that we will all be in a caregiving situation at one or more times in our lives. Keep this book on hand and remember to care for yourself along the way.
