Caring for a parent, spouse, or aging relative is one of the noblest human activities.
It’s also one of the most stressful, posing challenges that can be painful, confusing, and deeply rewarding — sometimes all at once.
When Caregiving Calls is an invitation to a deep conversation about caregiving and its meaning for you.
Hi there, and welcome to my website.
I’m Aaron Blight, Ed.D., the author of When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse, or Aging Relative. I wrote the book after more than twenty years of being a caregiver, professionally supporting caregivers, and studying caregiving.
I wanted to create a book for family caregivers that is easy to read, relatable, and profound. A book that actually makes a difference.
If your life has been touched by caregiving, I hope that you’ll read it. Please let me know if you’d like me to join your group for a discussion about what it means to care.
