New York: Simon & Schuster [A Fireside Book], 1995. First Printing [Stated]. Trade paperback. 287, [1] pages. Foreword by Sukie Miller, Ph.D. List of Resources. Index. Signed by both authors. Some page discoloration noted. Some cover wear. Capossela wrote the following inscription: Man 6, 1996 Dear Hand, Well, here it is at last. Thank you for all your support during this arduous project and thank you for the adage "Do nothing you can delegate." Miss ya, kid. Love Cappy. Also signed with Best Regards sentiment by Shelia. Explains how to create a caregiver "family" from acquaintances, friends, and family members, with suggestions for organization, planning, and job sharing. Share The Care was born when twelve people—including Sheila Warnock and the late Cappy Capossela—came together to help their terminally ill friend and stayed together caring for her for three and a half years. The authors documented the systems developed during that period for others to follow. Tragically, in 2002, Sheila spearheaded a group for Cappy when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Following Cappy's death, Sheila founded a nonprofit organization ShareTheCaregiving in Cappy's memory. ShareTheCaregiving’s mission is to improve the “quality of life” of persons who are seriously ill, disabled, or experiencing the challenges of aging, and to reduce stress, depression, isolation and economic hardship often suffered by their family caregivers. The organization offers a community educational program that includes a training for health professionals and clergy, workshops for caregivers, and Share The Care Stations. E-mail and telephone support is available to caregivers, and health professionals. More
