Weary Joy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780758662002)

In the United States, as diagnoses of dementia rise concurrent to an aging population, increasing healthcare costs and the availability and affordability of long-term care facilities place additional burdens on family members of those who have dementia. More and more, individuals are caring for long ones - parents, spouses, siblings - at home for longer periods of time, and for many, the burden of caregiving can seem almost as heavy as the disease itself. Weary Joy is written specifically for caregivers. Featuring short chapters, pragmatic information, and prayers that encourage, offer hope, and even share a little humor, Weary Joy will remind readers of God's grace and Jesus' care as they discover ways to develop resilience and endurance to navigate the ups and downs of caregiving.
