Your treatise on this difficult subject can make a real impact on others.”Beth Zeuthen, Nurse Practitioner and Family CaregiverThe day Bruce Willis received his official diagnosis, his wife Emma Heming Willis walked out of the doctor’s office holding a pamphlet.“No plan, no guidance, no hope, just shock. The future we imagined simply vanished, and I was left trying to hold my family together, raise our two young daughters, and care for the man I love while navigating a disease I barely understood.”Emma’s words speak for millions of families who reach the caregiving tipping point without warning and without anyone telling them what to do next.This book is the plan Emma never got.When Des Jeffrey’s late wife received a similar diagnosis, he made the same painful mistakes so many caregivers make — missing the early signals, second-guessing every decision, searching for practical guidance that simply wasn’t there.
