Those Who Care: A Guided Journal for Past, Present, and Future Transplant Caregivers

Are you looking for an engaging book to teach caregivers that they are not alone? This is it! “Those Who Care” is for the people who love and support transplant patients. The people who squeeze their loved ones hands, gaze fearfully as the transplant recipient is wheeled away, and know the pain of their heart being on an operating table even though your body is not. I've been where you are.

In this journal I share my experience with you being one of "Those Who Care!" Transplant journeys can be vastly different, but the steps in the journey are similar. This journal is for us--the caregivers! If you are at the beginning of your journey you will be given insight into what to expect. My experiences will be a place of comfort for those of you currently active in the transplant process, and it will serve to remind you that you are not alone.

For those of you who have already been through the process this journal is a place for you to reflect and document your feelings as certain milestone dates come around. There are features included that will be sure to keep you organized and well on your way.

By the end of this book, you will come away feeling more supported after learning about someone who has been in your shoes and understands what you and your loved one may be feeling.
