Author: Naomi and Brian Zikmund-Fisher Book Description: Twenty-seven-year-old Naomi Zikmund-Fisher was six months pregnant with her first child when she learned that her husband needed a bone marrow transplant. In the two years that followed, she grappled with the fear, exhaustion, anger, uncertainty, exhilaration and disappointments that are the core of the caregiver’s experience. Across the Chasm chronicles Zikmund-Fisher’s day-to-day life, as she struggled to care for her husband, raise a young child and maintain her sanity. Across the Chasm is recommended reading for caregivers, as well as for family, friends, and patients who are anxious to understand what a caregiver feels and needs. |
