- Caregiving can at times take over every part of your life. Phyllis shares her experience caregiving for the five members in her family's older generation.
Phyllis Peters is an author and educator who has variously embodied the spirit of musician, waitress, filmmaker, rape crisis advocate, wanderer, and ingrate. Her latest novel, "Untethered: A Caregiver’s Tale" is a fictionalized, comedic take on her family’s experience with caregiving in the 'sandwich generation'. 100% of the profit from its sale is being donated to Alzheimer’s research via the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health.

Helping your parents or your pets or people who cant help themselves gives you a fulfilment beyond any drugs or money or anything else in this world its the only way to true happiness .
OMGoodness about all 5 family members with dementia! I thought caring for Rose was tough! Five?? I co-authored The Inspired Caregiver for the health of the caregiver. It is a book to read a bit at a time and inhale a positive affirmation or repeat the Inspired Caregiver pledge. It is amazing how Phyllis shares about the neighbor stealing the car (type 1 sociopaths are everywhere waiting to take advantage of others)... I hear a book in Phyllis' story! This was wonderful! Thank you, Phyllis!
Great video on Assisting Aging Parents. At our law firm we have done over 100 videos to help kids with aging parents get advice from a legal standpoint. Would be great to collaborate on a future video.

Yes, there is a lot of need for caregiving.
Reading the Bible gives me superpowers or skills and patient to care for my mom, and she behaves really well she used to be a preacher, I am a lucky daughter👩👵
