No greater gift could we hope to give – than helping someone else to live.

My books
I am the author of three books to help people who are caring for a terminally ill loved one. ‘Lean on Me’, its sequel ‘Looking Forward Looking Back- the Grieving Journey’, and ‘Teardrops- A Journey of Grief and Healing told through Poetry’, are true accounts of my own caregiving journey.
“Lean on Me” is a superbly and beautifully written account of a cancer caregiver who left no stone unturned to make her beloved husband’s life as comfortable, happy and meaningful as possible. And provides a motivational force for all those faced with the unfortunate situation of witnessing a loved one suffer.

How caregiving changed my life
Sharing my story has helped so many people who are going through a similar journey. In addition to my books, I also write blogs on a range of subjects related to caring for a loved one, grief, pain management, positive thinking and more. I hope you find them helpful.
The Blog
Putting pen to paper to express my emotions is something I have been doing for a long time. I hope my blogs help to provide you with the support you need.
