5.0 out of 5 stars This book should have a place on everyone's shelf!
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2020

Why is it we go through life believing we have a grasp on future events only to be found 'answer-less' when our loved one is discovered to have a serious long term, perhaps life-ending illness? Common everyday experiences and those future plans now only evidence turmoil, confusion, insecurity..."What do I do"..."How do I handle this?"..."Who do I call"...Where can I find help?"..."Can I afford to give him/her the best care?"...and most important: "Why was I not prepared for this?"
This is what Patrick Palmer's insightful study is all about. Divided into easily readable and digested sections his personal life experience, (of facing this very heart-break, losing his wife to brain cancer), offers a text that should be a book for all to read...NOW.

The provocative title caught my interest, and the eye-opening look at the financial, physical, and emotional considerations related to caregiving, narrated in a conversational tone, kept me engaged from start to finish. This insightful and informative book, based on the author's personal experience, is an ideal primer for the uninitiated. A quick, easy read which points out a logical timeline for future considerations, as they (may) arise.

Pat has shared his experiences, that when you plan ahead you have more options to get care where you choose, and reduce the burden on family members who become care providers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent To Do Manual For Preparedness for the Unexpected.
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2020
Excellent manual for anyone who wishes to be prepared for any unexpected situation which requires their time and care. It is practical while at the same time enriched by anecdotes of what turned out to especially helpful during a difficult time. Having been there during the terminal illnesses of my mother, father and and husband for a total of 9 years of caregiving, I can readily recommend this easy to read book.
