The aim of COMFORT: a Daily Reader for Caregivers of Someone with Dementia, is to offer messages of support, each page addressing a common issue in caregiving. Every entry contains a quote from a caregiver who knows what it’s like and is speaking directly and honestly to other caregivers. The quote is followed by ideas and suggestions for dealing with the issue.The aim of these daily messages is to help caregivers manage their feelings and take care of themselves, as well as their loved one. The reader also offers strategies for handling the dilemmas inherent in this undertaking. Learning from other caregivers is comforting; the more they know how to help themselves and their loved one, the better they feel. They see that they are not alone and not the first to encounter these issues. Professionals are finding this information as useful to them as it is to the family member.The format, a page to be read each day, is unique in the library of caregiving literature. Readings that are short and to the point resonate with caregivers; often overwhelmed, they find that reading a whole book is one thing too many.In addition to the pages written from January through December, an index allows readers to look up particular topics as needed.
