Caring for someone after a stroke can leave you juggling appointments, medications, questions for doctors, changes at home—and your own emotions—all at the same time.
 
The Surviving My Husband’s Stroke Caregiver’s Workbook was created to give you one place to organize the practical parts of caregiving while also making room for something that often gets pushed aside: you.
 
This digital edition is a fillable PDF, so you can type directly into the workbook on your computer or compatible device, save your answers, return to them later, and print pages whenever you want.
 
Inside, you’ll find tools and guided exercises to help you:
Keep track of important medical and caregiving information
Prepare for appointments and organize questions
Plan daily, weekly, and monthly responsibilities
Work through the emotional side of caregiving
Recognize stress, guilt, frustration, grief, and overwhelm
Reflect on what you need—not just what everyone else needs from you
Practice communication and aphasia-support activities
Create a record of your caregiving journey as life continues to change
 
This isn't about becoming the perfect caregiver. There is no such thing.
It's about having a place to put some of the information, thoughts, responsibilities, and emotions that are constantly taking up space in your head.
 
Created by author and stroke caregiver Denise Hoover, this workbook grew from her own experience caring for her husband after his stroke and accompanies her memoir, Surviving My Husband’s Stroke: A Wife’s Emotional Journey as Caregiver for Her Post-stroke Husband.
