A Glimpse into Life Behind the Words Shelly Bailey shares a raw and heart-wrenching look at the last 10 years as a caregiver for her husband of 48 years. Her story is deeply personal, yet lovingly resilient as she gives the reader a hard and realistic look at what caregiving actually entails. Although educated in Behavioral Science and Human Behavior, nothing prepared her for the harsh realities of caring for someone whose debilitating disease left them completely dependent on her, and how woefully unprepared she was to take on that responsibility financially, physically, and emotionally. Yet, love endures, and attitude is indeed everything.
