An Author's Journey through Heartbreak and Healing

Looking for a Kindle ebook that will take you on a journey through love, pain and healing?

Building upon the success of its paperback version (ISBN # 978-0-9822888-5-6,) Three Months: A Caregiving Journey from Heartbreak to Healing includes a selection of new articles about long distance caregiving, resources for male caregivers and more.  It takes the readers inside the Stroeh household where home care, medical decisions and much needed laughter gave extraordinary shape to an unexpected and devastating illness.

When I sat down with the author, he explained what inspired him to share his journey.

“I decided to write an ebook that included updated information, additional resources and more information about what I have learned as a male caregiver. The first book began as a series of notes I wrote at night to help make sense of each day's experiences. The notes also were a way for me to communicate feelings and fears I hadn't shared elsewhere. My hope was to offer something of value to others in the same situation.”

His personal experience has become a resource for others, according to  Dr. Kim Allsion, MD, Director of Breast Pathology at University of Washington Medical Center.
