Linda Burhan’s book is filled with humor and heartfelt inspiration to aide anyone facing the challenge of caring for a loved one at the end of life. Her story offers us hope for human strength and understanding of weaknesses during a difficult time. From the altar of God’s House, the monsignor proclaimed, “Jo McCauley was a force of nature!” And she was. She was a breeze that brought laughter to everyone she met. She was a whirlwind of a volunteer and mother. She was the wind that carried her daughters and son forward on a life of love. But dying and death are also forces of nature, and will not be denied. Linda’s book draws us along an unexpected path … When Jo’s adult children urged her to move to a senior community near her New York home they expected her to resist. She did more than that – she refused. Instead, she announced she was moving to Florida to be near Linda “because, out of all the kids, you make me laugh the most.” And Linda did, while caring for her mother through times of joy and times of pain as Jo’s life on Earth came to a close …

Life doesn’t normally prepare us to become a loved one’s caregiver. When it happens it’s usually sudden—the diagnosis of an illness, age-related frailty, dementia—and life suddenly is anything but normal. And because we don’t even know what we don’t know, where do we turn for help or guidance? We feel lost, alone… Linda Burhans was just as unprepared when her mother’s cancer diagnosis thrust her into the role of caregiver. That experience changed her own professional path. Today she’s a leading caregiver advocate, author, and public speaker. She knows, firsthand, what you are going through. In “Connecting Caregivers—Answer to the Questions You Didn’t Know You Needed to Ask,” Burhans offers information, education, and inspiration from her own experience and from experts whose advice, practical tools, and personal stories will empower and guide you.
