Prisoners without Bars - A Caregivers Tale

Donna O'Donnell Figurski

Sinopse

“Laugh! Cry! G-A-S-P!"This heart-wrenching and triumphant love story is a tale of advocacy and caregiving. Donna's husband, David, stumbled into their bedroom, his hand covering a blood-filled eye from a brain hemorrhage.Donna called 9-1-1. David slipped into a coma. At that moment, Donna was thrust onto the path of caregiver for her best friend and the love of her life.In her debut memoir, Donna shares how a neurosurgeon said that David would make a "great organ donor." She writes of arrogant doctors, uncaring visitors, insensitive ambulance drivers, and problematic nurses. She also tells of the many compassionate doctors, nurses, therapists, staff, strangers, family members, and friends who helped them on their journey.Donna compellingly describes her ability to appear positive as she experiences the horror of making life-or-death decisions. As her world crashes, she credits laughter as her lifesaver. More than thirteen years later, Donna and David are living a "new normal" together.

ADHD Effects on Relationships -...

Jessica Gray

Why is it so difficult to love someone with ADHD?
Can you no longer cope with your partner’s behavior?
Does attention deficit disorder strain your romantic relationship?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can cause misunderstandings, frustrations and resentments; even in close-knit romantic relationships.
There are lots of couples in which one or both partners have ADHD. All of this can become a dark tunnel with no way out.
If you’re in a relationship with someone who has ADHD:
· You may feel tired of taking care of everything on your own and being the only responsible party in the relationship.
· You may feel angry and emotionally blocked. Anger and resentment permeate many interactions with the ADHD spouse.
· You may feel lonely, ignored and unappreciated.
· You don't feel like you can count on your partner. You always have to organize everything to make up for his or her forgetfulness.
· You feel frustrated. A non-ADHD spouse might feel as if the same issues keep coming back over and over again.
· Sometimes it seems that your partner doesn't care about you.
· You feel exhausted and depleted. The non-ADHD spouse carries too many responsibilities and no amount of effort seems to fix the relationship.
You deserve better!
If you would like a book that will help you to finally understand why your spouse acts in certain ways and enables you to make their lives and your own life better, then this book is for you!
The light at the end of the dark tunnel can be found!
