Stroke Hope Guide for Caregivers

by Daniel Bryan Jones

Overview

Foreword by Jacqueline Piepenhagen - Artist of the Quill

Author Daniel Jones has proven that no matter what life throws at you if you have a positive attitude and the will to find purpose in your life you will move forward to live life to its fullest.

Daniel Jones exceptional drive to overcome the adversities in his life has led him to not only tell his life’s story of the massive stroke he suffered in 2006, but to reach out and spread the word that life is worth living. In this book he focuses on caregiving.

There is no “bling” in this book only the hard core reality of care giving and what it encompasses. Care giving is not for everyone. I believe this book will inform and guide you as to what is needed to be a wonderful care giver.

Daniel has laid out this self-guide from firsthand experience. Here he tells about the ins and outs; the ups and downs that can follow after a diagnosis’s of stroke. He doesn’t stop there. He guides the reader through the rehabilitation process including lifestyle changes that must be met. This book will inspire as well as inform anyone on what to expect and of what is expected of the caregiver on an ongoing bases to avoid burn out.

I have lived the roll of Care Giver for more than 20 years in the institutional setting and in the private sector. If this book had been written years ago, I feel the lives of many caregivers could have been changed in a more positive way for both them and the stroke victim to prevent inevitable burn out that sent many stroke victims to be institutionalized.

I have worked for myself since I married in 1975. I owned and operated a residential roofing company for the first twenty-five years.

When I finished my last mission trip to West Africa I went into the real estate business where I became successful in selling high end properties in southern California. I graduated high school in 1974 and have been self-taught and am a self-made man through my many business projects over the last thirty five years. I suffered a massive stroke in 2006 that was life changing. After years of recovery I started writing. I have recently been writing the amazing story of my time in the mission field. I am in the process of writing a six book series on stroke awareness, prevention and recovery. I am also writing a training and exercise manual for post stroke survivors and a guide to care giving for care givers.Lastly I have an autobiography on my life story half written up to 1999. Since my stroke I have been asked to speak at many of the South land Colleges and lecture on the effects of stroke and the awareness, prevention and recovery of stroke. I volunteer every Monday for a stroke group that lends support to those who suffer from "aphasia", a condition caused by strokes that renders it victims unable to communicate.
