Book excerpt: While tons of praise and empathy for the medical fraternity and for the patients struggling long term exist, very little seems to permeate to the home caregivers forgotten and forlorn. Forever silent throughout the battle and through those self-debilitating years of their lives, they remain among the long-lost perennial sufferers. This book causes a few to speak out, both those who buckled under the strain as also those who came out with joy and satisfaction at the end outcome. The ‘recalled to life’ dear one obliterates all the trauma of the past. We need to be more aware of how difficult the task of care giving is, and show respect and extend a helping hand when such a situation arises. At the very least, she ought to be respected as a human being whose sole purpose in life, for the time being, has been the welfare of the sick husband. This certainly has a cascading effect and a word of appreciation and a simple smile a day will bring more care from the spouse. This book establishes this without an iota of doubt.
