================================ SPOTLIGHT ON CAREGIVING ================================ A free electronic newsletter from the publisher of Caregiving.com, a free online support service. Vol. 5, No. 12 ************************************************* This month's Caregiving Special Focus: Caregiving spills into all areas of your life. It seems that it's about taking care of a family member, but then it becomes about a health care system that often doesn't help, about other family members who can't cope, about friends that disappear, about emotions you never thought you'd feel. And, then, it becomes about money. This month, we take a closer look at when caregiving causes a catastrophic financial crunch. Read more: http://caregiving.com/Focus/index32.htm ***** November is the month that honors your important role. We've got special activities planned just for you: * November 20 is Kiss a Caregiver Day. Be sure to share a hug and kiss with the family caregivers you know. Then, make every day Kiss a Caregiver Day. Learn more: http://www.caregiving.com/whatsnew/html/kissacaregiver.htm * Deals galore in our online store. Save on handbooks and coaching.

Read the daily Insights and Inspirations now: http://www.caregiving.com/forum ***** Holiday Survival Guide Ho, Ho, Ho. It's the holidays, a time that should be for loving family traditions but often becomes the catalyst for tension-filled family rifts. In this special section, we'll offer practical tips to help survive the holidays, including those unpleasant run-ins with sometimes well-meaning, but always out-spoken, family members. We'll talk about ways you can prevent these emotionally-exhausting encounters, as well as ways to deal with situations when you get side-swiped. And, we'll offer tips on handling the Holiday MeltDown. So, during the holiday season, you'll have a chance to rest your caregiving hat--even if it's for a few minutes. Visit our guide: http://caregiving.com/support/html/holiday.htm ================================ Bring The Caregiving Years to your community—purchase the Caregiving Years presentation program!
