There are 65.7 million caregivers in America, making up 29 percent of the U.S. adult population. Where does the caregiver turn when dealing with their own need for encouragement and renewal?

Caregiving is an opportunity to give back to those who have cared for us, but caregivers can often find themselves being worn down by their important, demanding work. In Prayers for Caregivers, author Patti Normile helps caregivers voice their anxiety, fatigue, care, and faith. With a special introduction by Rev. Daniel H. Grossoehme, this revised edition will help all caregivers nourish their spirits and find the encouragement and grace to care for themselves so that they can better care for others. "Patti Normile's prayers relay hope to the caregiver that God has trust in us to do a job that He himself would do. She speaks with reverence and the honesty that comes with true relationships." Marcy Schutte, Hospice Nurse
