This journey of the heart can be overwhelming especially for those who are new to caregiving. Over time, stress, sleep-deprivation, and anticipatory grief take an emotional and physical toll. Our ability to cope, be kind to ourselves, and provide the best level of care for our loved one may be reduced unless we seek assistance, know what to expect, prioritize, and organize. Peering into the mirror of our loved one's vulnerability is to share our deepest fears and needs, enabling us to grow not only as caregivers but as human beings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased upon the author's experience in Australia as a caregiver for her grandmother with colorectal cancer, \u003ci\u003eLove, Laughter and Morphine\u003c\/i\u003e is part memoir with practical hands-on tips for the caregiving journey.
