OLLI members are at the stage of life when Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other diseases make an unwelcome visit into our lives and require us to learn and/or strengthen basic caregiver skills. Researchers have studied families struggling with these issues and have identified eight stages for caregiver success. The instructor is an OLLI member and local family and marriage counselor. Join him as he summarizes his learning curve while caring for his wife for ten years and maintaining a heart-to-heart connection. We will use Gail Sheehy's book, Passages in Caregiving-from Chaos to Confidence. Each of the classes will focus on four stages of the caregiver journey noting both the frustrations and humorous situations as well as the creation of moments of joy and laughter.
