Family Caregivers – this Book is for You!
If you are a family caregiver, this book is for you! It’s based on the premise that family caregivers need care, too! The Lessons of Caring: Inspiration and Support for Family Caregivers gives much need attention and love to those who selflessly take care of their loved ones!

If you are a family caregiver or know one, you know that caregiving is a labor of love that can be all-consuming. And, the typical family caregiver is not paid, and has a full-time job and a family, while they provide service and care to a family member or loved one. It’s the toughest and most rewarding “job” one can ever have. At the same time, family caregivers need and deserve care, too.

Why I Wrote this Book
That's why I wrote this book. To offer support and community to family caregivers!

I was the primary caregiver for both of my parents in their final years. My Mom was on dialysis and battled cancer, and my Dad fought Parkinson’s disease for over 17 years. They faced many challenges in their struggle to sustain their quality of life, independence and dignity. Often, their struggles challenged our caregiving relationship. I didn’t always make the best choices, but I did always have their best interests driving my actions.

As an only child, it was often a lonely journey. I didn’t want others to feel like they were alone. Plus, I learned a lot, and I am glad to share the lessons I learned with you. The greatest lesson, what I hope you take from the book - caregiving for a loved one is a priceless gift that you share with your loved one and keep forever!

New in this Edition
The new, 2024 edition of The Lessons of Caring is short, sweet and to the point - with access to video commentaries from caregivers to comfort you, and exercises and questions to help you. In this edition, I share insights I gained from helping his parents deal with the challenges of advanced and complex medical issues and their aging. And, the new edition contains a new Lesson on After-Caring, as well as a Special Bonus - free access to the short film, "The Caregiver," which I wrote and directed.

Format
I gained my experience caring for my elderly, Italian-American parents. Instead of an academic read, this book offers accessible content and pragmatic, usable (you judge if it's "useful") advice. I recognize that my experience is my experience and may not necessarily be applicable to all family caregivers. As such, this book is not an exhaustive or comprehensive presentation of caregiving lessons. Rather, The Lessons of Caring strives to be a resource to caregivers by stimulating reflection, offering support and creating opportunities to grow from the lessons I have learned.

The Lessons of Caring presents nine lessons. While there is a deliberate sequencing in the book, readers may want to read, and re-read, the lessons in a different order. Throughout this book, I talk about self-care. To be honest, it's as much a reminder for me, as it is a prompt for you. I'm still learning!

A special feature is the video message that begins each lesson - simply scan the QR code with your smart device. I invited other caregivers, and those who work with caregivers, to share their experiences and thoughts. When viewed from an Internet-connected device, readers will be able to hear from others who have been on this journey, bringing the meaning of the lesson's topic to life in a more personal way.

I hope that reading, The Lessons of Caring, will feed your spirit, recharge your energy and affirm your amazing and life-changing impact as a family caregiver!

Diritto di recesso

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
