The Labyrinth of Caregiving

AARP Caregiving Ambassador Gail Sheehy leads us through the Labyrinth of Caregiving, which she describes as a path of nine "turnings."



Gail, author of the groundbreaking book "Passages," traveled around the country capturing the personal stories of a handful of the more than 44 million Americans caring for adult loved ones. Each with its own take on a different phase of caregiving, these stories will be posted weekly.



In her Online Community profile, Gail will also share her journal observations about these families, their stories, and her experiences as a caregiver.
